Is there any at home remedies that I can use on my 3 month old for eczema? He’s got in mostly in his eyebrows, and cheeks and he constantly scratches it causing it the flare up and be red.

Lol once again, i need help! i need some kind of a natural face cream that will help smoothen my face without causing it to flare. i have eczema so my face is dry and itchy! so does anyone know any types of creams or anyhthing that can help make the dryness and redness go away?? or atleast make it go away for a while

The eczema affects the growth/production of my fingernails and takes several months to begin to clear up. I’m in a wedding in October and am worried that it won’t be cleared up by then. I am currently using Elecon cream to treat my eczema on other areas and it works really well, but doesn’t seem to work on my fingernails at all. Any suggestions?

Ok well basically my whole family has had eczema, and now i have it. everyone thinks i have chicken pox and i keep telling them i have a skin rash whats the best way to treat eczema?

The corners of my mouth are all cracked and sore, i read that a cold sore will blister and eczema won’t? Im not sue though.

I’ve had eczema since I was a baby, and have been on various medications, usually topical. Right now I use steroidal creams which have ceased working and only make my skin thinner in areas, so it just comes right off, causing more pain than necessary.

The past few months though I’ve had extreme eczema flare-ups, and so I took prednisone I was prescribed, which usually dampens the eczema enough that I can get it under control. Unfortunately, even while I was taking it, I was miserable with eczema symptoms. I wouldn’t mind the itching so much, except that I wake up and realized I’ve clawed myself have to death during my sleep and am then in extreme pain, and can’t go to sleep.

Even when the pain is there, I can’t stop scratching. Or rather, I can’t stop itching. I do take hydroxyz for itchiness and it doesn’t help at all. I’ve taken benadryl, and other antihistamines.

The worst part is at night when I go to sleep, my neck becomes extremely hot and itchy. It does not resemble the eczema on the rest of my body, which confuses me. I’ve tried sleeping with my hair up to keep it from causing my neck to sweat, tried sleeping on my stomach so that it doesn’t rub my pillows, bought new hypoallergenic pillows and pillowcases, and still, it just itches and bleeds and hurts so much.

I have done everything it seems….from trying various cleansing teas to everything doctor recommended. I’m particular to avoid allergens, and I use hypoallergenic soaps and detergents, as well as tar shampoo. When I use oatmeal baths, it only makes me itch more. I’ve tried vaseline, and taking lukewarm showers. I can’t shower everyday or it dries out my skin entirely.

During the day it is not as bad, but I do know that any kind of sweating or humidity automatically worsens it.

Is there anything strange out there that I haven’t tried? I need something to help this go away…
Edit: I’ve even had sleeping medications prescribed to me, which only make me drowsy but do not cause me to sleep through the pain. I also keep my nails very short, but that, once again, does not seem to hinder my night-scratching.

Have it on my hands and been a sufferer since a little girl. Tried all sorts of creams and ointments but still have it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’ve had Contact Dermatitis (a type of eczema) since October 2006. I was sleeping in a hotel and the next morning I woke up with the rash all over my hands and legs! It’s been like torture ever since
The beginning was the worst.. and has pretty much disappeared except for the scar/marks on my legs. Last night some showed up on the back of my neck too. I used some medicated lotion that my doctor gave me, but now when I itch my skin, it scratches off!

I read somewhere online that soy products could cause eczema. That makes sense because I started drinking soymilk instead of regular milk around the same time the rash appeared. Is soy a common cause of eczema?

I’m 18 if that helps!
