I have eczema too and the only thing that worked for me was topical prescription creams. Once I got my eczema under control with that, I started using lotion daily, especially after I showered.

    It is called triamcinolone and it is RX only. I have tried many things, but this is the only cream that works, and it works immiately on contact.

    Hi Rose

    Here is a herb remedy that will work. For long term health learn aobut colon and liver cleansing to clear out the toxins in the blood.

    1. Take 1-3 droppersful of Echinacea Plus Tincture (at herbdoc.com or another qualified site) to strengthen the immune system.

    2. Rub Garlic oil ALL over the affected area (Garlic will kill anything if you use enough of it)

    3. Give 1-3 glasses of Activated Charcoal Slurry per day (to absorb the toxins out of the blood)

    4. Mix equal parts of Aloe Vera Gel, Slippery Elm Powder and Activated Charcoal Powder together (absorbs the toxins externally)

    5. Apply a thin layer of this mixture over the AFFECTED area(s).

    6. Continue this treatment, until the desired Results are achieved.

    This is healing at it’s highest point.

    Cause
    Eczema is often called Dermatitis, and may be a symptom of an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Eczema can be due to allergies, allergies secondary to digestive disorders such as hydrochloric acid deficiency, rashes secondary to immune diseases, genetic metabolic disorders, and/or nutritional deficiencies, especially of niacin (vitamin B3) and B6, as well as other B vitamins.

    To minimize your risk of developing eczema, avoid irritating substances, wear natural nonirritating materials, use soothing ointments, and check to see if dietary, nutritional, and/or and allergy-causing factors need to be considered.

    Other ideas that will help:

    Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help speed healing: black currant and red grapes; carrot, beet, spinach, cucumber, and parsley; and wheat grass juice.

    Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin A and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 essential fatty acid found in high quantities in evening primrose oil, have both been shown to improve the symptoms of eczema. Vitamin E. Other useful supplements for preventing and reversing eczema include vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.

    Topical Treatment: Apply evening primrose oil directly to cracked and sore areas of the skin. A topical paste made from ginkgo and licorice root extract has also been shown to improve eczema symptoms.

    Best of health to you

    Baby lotions would irratate it more because of the perfume in them. My daughter and myself also get it, we get a prescribed cram from the doctor that is a quaterzone cream but you can only use it for a certain time.

    I would see the doctor because her skin isnt the same as everyone elses, buying over the counter creams isnt always that great and in the end your wasting money.

    (sorry forgot the name of the cream we used) but like I said its a quaterzone cream.

    I have this problem.
    For prescription I use a product called Pantel. It’s expensive, so hopefully your ins will cover it. I have Blue Cross and it does cover it. If you ask for it from your DR., make sure to check with the pharmacy first b/c for some reason it comes in really small tubes but if they order you a larger one, my ins charges me the same as the small tube, so look into it… It’s none steroidal. The only other thing that worked for me was Prednisone, but it’s a pill and has nasty side effects…

    For body wash I ONLY use Aveeno products. They have soaps strictly for Eczema relief along with regular soups that are so pure they don’t irritate the skin and it doesn’t cause any breakouts.
    For deodorant I use Tom’s all natural and this works well for me b/c for some reason I get breakouts on my underarm and most brand make it worse.
    GOOD LUCK

    Hi, she needs to use sensitive soaps, detergent with no bleaches and that are also gentle. Water dries the skin , and in winter its worse. Water softener is suggested- may want to have your water tested at home, could be creating the skin condition. Lots of non-perfumed lotions to keep the skin moist. I would suggest going to a dermatoligist if it persists, they can help with prescriptions if it is eczema. good luck!

    1. Only use the Dove body wash
    2. Go to Wal-mart and get The ..Equate moisturing Lotion Fragrence free its just an off brand version to a more expensive brand but its the same stuff its just packaged by a cheaper company It works great!

    I hope this works for you as well as it has worked for us !

    You can try an oatmeal bath or sea salt bath for her. Use natural oils for moisturizer like primrose or emu oil. You may also want to let her consume some of these supplements that supply her with fatty acids.

    Do not let her take too many baths or too long a bath. You also want to ensure that her laundry is not washed with harsh detergents.

    Rose, hello. It’s horses for courses as they say. In my case the herbal eczema cream from http://www.champori.com worked the best: my patches cleared in just 2.5 weeks and have stayed clear for more than a year now.
    Best,
    Bernadette

    it is best that you try to avoid a lot of things that can trigger eczema like:

    - avoid perfumed skin care and body care products
    - avoid extreme hot and cold weather conditions
    - avoid keeping fingernails long
    - avoid scratching the affected area
    - avoid long baths
    - avoid processed foods and foods with preservatives
    - avoid skin irritants and allergens like dusts and pollens
    - avoid clothes and material that are rough, course, scratchy and tight
    - avoid activities that can make you sweat
    - avoid smoking and alcohol

    try to be gentle with your skin. the use of an all natural skin care moisturizer can be a big help. have a talk with your skin care expert about eczema treatments. or visit http://www.skinoriginal.com for more tips on how to rejuvenate skin.
