Ok, well I had it on the back of my legs for like 2 years (Til I finally went to the dermo and got it cleared up!) and whenever I got my pedicure they would use sea salt. Let me tell ya, putting an abrasive on raw skin is NOT a good idea! I have such scarring now (tho I have been assurred I am the only one that notices) that it is not worth it. Try the dermotologist. It can be inexpencive and sometimes a cream will work. (mine gave me lots of trial sizes of what I needed and it dint cost me anything but the office visit)

No dead sea salt is not a remedy for eczema. Some of the tar floating along the shores of the dead sea is thought to have curative effects to inflammatory skin ailment but not the salt.

My 6 year old daughter suffers from eczema severely and we have tried that paticular product. Unfortunately, we had no such luck with it. Not even so much as an inkling of help. What i have found works is an oatmeal bath with some baking soda and eucerin cream and lots of it. Cleaning the skin follicles isn’t going to help as with eczema you are dealing with dry skin. So exfoliating the skin isn’t good. Try using ivory soap. It works wonders. If it is really bothersome hydrcortisone cream is awesome. If you suffer from it severly, like my daughter, you may need a steriod cream, like elidel. Good luck and i hope you can get some relief from the eczema.

Couldn’t you just scrape at it till it finally goes away?

I also have eczema all over my body. There is no treatment for eczema. I just apply vaseline on my body daily to keep my skin moisturized. It’ll automatically go away once you get older.

I Know lots of people that have had eczema really bad,and have tried EVERYTHING, only to have nothing really work.
Anyone from 3 years old to 80 years old.
Really sad.
Until they tried a lotion that I know of that has T-36 C3 melaleuca oil in it.( T-36 C3 is the highest grade of tea tree oil )
I personally do not have eczema,but this has really helped alot of people.
I don’t sell it or anything but if you want more info you can email me at enhancinglivesdaily@yahoo.com
