What is the best over the counter treatment/lotion/ointment for eczema. I have horrible patches all over my body, and I get hives all the time. I have seen a doctor, so I do have medication creams, but they don’t work very well. I already know about Aveeno, CeraVe, Cetaphil, Aquaphor, etc. Please help me find something that is less than 0.00. Thank you so much!

i just got back from vacation and after I took a shower i noticed the skin on my arms. I’ve had eczema before so it was nothing new just seems worse then usual. usually i just wait it out.

What is great treat for eczema in children 18 months old?

Our family doctor prescribed hydrocortisone for my daughter (she’s 3 going on 4 in January) to treat her eczema. She gets it quite badly about 2x per year – on her arms, legs and sometimes on her stomach. The pharmacist just cautioned me about not using the hydrocortisone too much on her – why would that be? Is it a steroid?

During my research,I found that the oral method isn’t approved by the U.S.,and that some websites say that the cream can cause burning and more irritation.My youngest child has severe eczema.Anyone have info on this before I choose a different medicine for him? His pediatrician doesn’t have an opinion on the drug.

Idk if i made sense, but i’ve come across so much sites with products claiming to get rid of eczema, i don’t know which to order from.

I’ve got mild eczema on my fingers and toes at the moment, and it’s irritating me! I used to have it really badly all over me, so used steroid cream, but I don’t want to use steroids for this. I don’t get affected by soaps or anything; I use ones that don’t irritate it, and my clothes don’t make it worse. Does anybody have any alternative remedies?

My vet gave her an injection for her eczema which did clear up the condition on her head above her right eye and her fur grew back nicely. But the base of her tail remained is getting worse and I cannot afford the treatment again as the injection was expensive with the vet fee as well.
Would eczema cream for humans be just as good to use on her tail where the eczema is?
Lucia, I am glad your dog is doing okay but what has that to do with my cat and possible treatment?
