My eczema is so bad that lotion doesn’t seem to do anything anymore and in result, the skin around the patches is soft as a baby’s butt and the eczema is red and dry and irritated. I got a prescription for it, but since my eczema is on my hands, I never feel safe putting it on because I use my hands to eat, etc.

The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and milk products which trigger my flare-ups.
After using number of prescription drugs I’ve turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use serenaskin herbal remedies , which aim at the root of the disease – the immune system, and are steroid-free.
After about 2 weeks of using ointment and spray my skin has been cleared up and now I just continue with eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My skin has been clear for months now.
It is the only treatment I have found that provides me complete relief when I use it as directed.
Lotions will not heal it unfortunately, just help it to feel better. For really bad spots I like to use Spectro Eczema care which is a fairly expensive ($15) tube of thick moisturizer. You really should use the prescriptions though. As long as you don’t eat immediately after using them you should be fine.
My dermatologist recommends aquaphor for eczema. They use phototherapy first ( http://www.phototherapystore.com/ ) then the aquaphor afterwards, and it can be bought over the counter.
