I was diagnosed w/ eczema about 2 years ago. It seems to get worse at certain times of the year, Fall and winter usually. I have not had a problem all summer long and all of a sudden I’m itching like crazy and breaking out again, what on earth causes eczema? I put on lotion w/ collidal oatmeal twice a day and it isn’t helping for now. Anything to help it?

I have eczema, and its been the most extreme on my legs for the past couple of months.

When I scratch my legs, a weird liquid oozes from my skin. I don’t even have an open wound or open sores. It’s not blood, and it’s not puss. It looks clear and basically looks like water. It feels a little sticky and has its own smell too.

What exactly is this? Can someone please help me? Thank you all.

My 8 year old step son just came to stay with us for 3 weeks. He has really bad eczema. He mom will not give us his prescrition cream (or his medical card so he can’t go to a doctor). Is there anything over the counter? Or maybe a herbal remedey. It is driving him crazy and I really feel bad for him. If you know anything that will help please let me know. Thanks.

How can i get rid of it or reduce it?? I have tried the lotions body wash. I scratch a lot in the middle of the night without knowing. What medication or remedies are out there that i can try. it really is ruining my skin a lot…

i made a wrong move by applying Celestone M cream on the front of my head and suddently that patch of hair shrinked all the way so i got a bald spot at the front now and its not growing back. since its not a natural hair loss, is there anything i can do to make up for it? sorry for bad english.

I have been to a doctor today & he said I have eczema, which started after Christmas, there are so many possible factors, allergies etc. While I am ruling them out one by one I need to treat the eczema, I don’t want to take anti-biotics or use steroid creams. I know a LOT about holistic & nutritional things, but I would like to know what the natural solutions are for treating eczema, I will be applying E45 Cream to all affected areas (arms, shoulders, neck) daily. I will be going back to the doctors in a week or two. Proper answers please, no "take drugs" comments, I want answers to the question I am asking, what are the natural alternatives?
Thanks for the replies so far, I eat VERY healthily, I know almost as much as Gillian McKeith, & believe in holistic lifestyle, I eat cooked rice & millet pasta, with plenty of cold-pressed hemp seed oil, tomatoes, herbs, take plenty of supplements, I also eat cooked Quinoa, & steamed vegetables with garlic & have had 2 colonics recently, (also removed hundreds of intestinal worms). I plan to try to slowly convert to raw foods. I think that the cause of this eczema could be allergies, or food related, I have been eliminating possible causes one by one & have found that heat starts me itching, but I started eating organic "quinoa & rice with garlic" snacks by Biona after christmas, I worked out that they contain about 6grams of salt in a bag (i would eat one bag a day, i know that 6g is the most you should at in a day but now I believe that this is the biggest cause of the itching, Salt. So I won’t be eating these for a while to find out if the itching & scabs improve.
So for now, I would like to know what natural & holistic methods exist for helping to heal the scabbed skin & stop the itching (although if salt is the cause of the itching it should stop soon as I have stopped eating so much salt). I will also be drinking plenty of water to try to get more hydrated as I was dehydrated before. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll try some of the cold pressed hemp oil on my skin, & I think perhaps the goats milk helping people is probably because of the high fat content, so I will continue pouring the hemp oil on my pasta & in soups. Keep the suggestions coming though, I appreciate them.

i have a baby boy about 18 months old and he has mild eczema spots all over his body. the doctor prescribed hydrocortizone and it helps but you can still see the discoloration in his skin specially when he tans on his arms and legs. what can i do to stop it or will he just grow out of it?
