I am working on a more ‘holistic’ approach to controlling my eczema because I don’t like relying on corticosteroids and the like. After experiencing positive results with Neem Oil and Penaten, I decided to mix the Neem Oil into the cream. This has worked wonderfully. An holistic dermatologist suggested the use of Emu Oil and Evening Primrose Oil. I have added these to the cream with some Sweet Almond Oil and a touch of Vitamin E extracts. This has had the added benefit of killing the Neem stink and the medicinal smell of the zinc oxide cream.

If anyone has experience with treating eczema with natural products I would like to hear about your experiences and suggestions. Also advise if you feel that I am omitting anything from my topical treatment so far.
BTW, my break-out areas are my elbow (just one! *counts lucky stars*) and a patch on my neck near my hairline. It used to cover the back of my neck from nape to occipital knob (where the spinal column meets the braincase).

Do you know of anything over the counter that I could use that would help my son’s eczema? He is 3 years old and has lots of allergies. I have to take him back to the allergist but in the meantime, any suggestions?

My son is 14 months old. His cheeks get bright red sometimes. It tends to coincide with fever. Other times his face is perfectly clear.

Thanks in advance.

I hate eczema, and I’m not too fond of meds if I can avoid them. What do other people do to keep it in check?

We have a 3 years old child with Eczema, for the last two years we would only sleep for 3 to 4 hours most at night ! Seeing our child Scratching all night and not getting the sleep that he needs just kill us. We tried everything from creame and medication. Is there any other safe options in helping our 3 years old to rest at night?

I’ve had eczema on my upper lip since I was 3 months. It really bothers me and last night was the worse ever in my life! It was leaking and cracking up and I couldn’t stop scratching it. Please give me some kind of cream that I can get over the counter or at drug stores. Please do not reccommend any online claims. Thank you

My daughter started developing it when she was three, it became really bad and we tried all the doc’s suggestion which did work to an extent, but always stained everything then I was told about Aloe Propolis Creme I only started using it about a week ago and the difference is brilliant, still bits left but i’m going to carry on using it, hope it works for others
