No prescriptions. My friend has eczema above her elbow and arm area , and I wanna help her out.
But I can’t buy anything , and I know she has a habit of scratching.
Help ? I wanna help my friend.

u can’t, simple as. i’ve had it since i was two, now im 13 (14 in july) and even with all the prescriptions, dermatologists, dietitions and paedritions it hasn’t gone.
so sorry but you will have NO luck on your own.
tell youir frind to visit a doctor, its VERY important before it gets out of hand.
but meanwhile here’s a few tips (if anyone has tips it’s me!):
1. stay away from perfumes and other potentionally irritating smells
2 don’t do the washing up
3. have short, quick warm (not hot) daily baths
4. of course ‘not scratching’ is hard so only scratch with a clean surface that won’t infect
5. cut nails as short as possible
6. imagine that if you scratch something bad will happen (like you will melt or turn into a frog!)
7. wear soft, cotton clothing
8, don’t wear too much cothing, the cooler the better
9. wear long sleeves and fully cover legs.so you can resist the urge to scratch
10. keep yourself busy!!!!! i have my entire day full of things to do and keep my hands busy just so i forget about scratching.
hope these work and good luck, once again i stress the importance of seeing a doctor ASAP.
Pray!
no cure ,i have it on my leg , caused by skin cells growing to fast to be washed away, you can use abrasion to smooth out some of the growth, there is no cure , the herbal suggestion above is crap
I’ve had eczema my whole life & I can sadly say that there is no cure that’ll just come naturally. In fact, there’s no cure at all.
Personally, I just wait for the weather to get warmer & it clears up almost 100% from being miserable looking in winter. But, I get a cream called Triamcinolone Acetonide from Kaiser for only $5. 00 a tube and it does help it clear up rapidly.
