My 13 year old sister has really bad eczema on most of her body – stomach, butt, parts of her arms, back and parts of her legs. She’s already been instructed by her doctor to only take showers every other day, but when she visits my house, I notice she scratches a lot. Maybe too much. I want to know what body wash and lotion are best for her as to not irritate her skin. Any recommendations for calming creams?

what kind of creams can you use on babys for eczema

I was recently diagnosed with eczema as the cause of my burning and itching in my vulvar area. Anyone else have this and how do you personally manage it?
Um yes, I’m sure I have it. A biopsy was done to confirm it. It is rare.

My son is almost 3. He’s always had REALLY good skin – beautifully soft and clear and he’s never had nappy rash.

The last few months he’s started getting patches of dry skin on his cheeks which are red and I can’t get rid of them. I’ve also noticed another patch on his leg.

The patches don’t seem to be itchy.

Is this eczema or just dry skin? Nothing has really changed with his diet etc and we have no eczema or allergies on either side of the family.

What can I do to improve his skin?

Condition exists on the ring and small fingers of my right hand. Currently using a combination of Aquaphor and Eucerin, which I normally apply before bed each night. (Once tried a topical corticosteroid cream prescribed by my dermatologist, which had minimal effect.) Not sure if this is the optimal over-the-counter solution. Thoughts? Thanks.

You know. the creams and lotions to relieve eczema and some other skin conditions. Anyways what medication have you used, and for how long? How old were you at the time you used it? Especially if you used it for 2years plus let me know have you noticed any side affects. People please answer, or get someone you know who falls in any of these categories to answer. I would appreciate it so much.

I have a terrible skin condition which causes irritation and itching on the skin, i only get it on my torso and i was just looking for some ideas to get rid of it faster, it goes away after a few days with medication but i am sick of taking it, and now i have the eczema again (for some reason i only get it in spring, i live in Australia if you’re confused…spring u no?) so if you could help that would be wonderful!!!

i have eczema and i’ve tried a lot of different treatments but most of them don’t seem to work, the only thing that usually works are topical steriods, but the symptoms always reappear within not much time. i don’t like using topical steriods all the time because of the long term side effects i’ve read about, i was wondering whether anyone out there has had any success with an alternative treatment.

My 14 your old son has a very bad case of Eczema. I’m tried almost everything ( Eucerin, Locoid Lipocteam, Aquaphor…). Any other suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you:)
