Hello there. The etiology of eczema is not known; so nobody knows exactly what causes the flare ups. Some usual suspects are household chemicals (detergents, shampoos,cleaning liquids, etc.) and certain foods (milk, yeast, gluten, etc).
There is an herbal cream and spray from http://www.champori.com that helps to keep my eczema in check: I haven’t had a flare up for more than a year now. And it cleared my patches (hands and face mostly) in just 2.5 weeks. Try it. (it comes with money back guarantee so there is nothing to lose)
Best,
Bernadette
Eczema is a chronic condition.Gingko Biloba is a Chinese herb I read that it helps.
Also exposure to sunlight in moderation is good.
Stay away from alcohol,caffeine and shellfish.
Stress also seems to agravate it.
Try googling skinnet.com eczema
Eczema is usually atopic dermatitis an itchy rash caused by something your allergic to or even caused by stress. It also has to do with an overactive immune system which is why it comes back.
Cortizone can help treat eczema, but if it’s bad I’d check with a dermatologist.
Hope you feel better

There are several treatment options for eczema such as:
1. Oral antihistamines – histamine is responsible for some symptoms of eczema but particularly the itching. Taking antihistamine ensures a good night’s rest.
2. Healing Natural Products – made from the pure essential oils extracted from plants and applied topically to relieve eczema symptoms and to begin the healing process of repairing the skin.
3. Corticosteroids – a topical steroid but only available on prescription from your doctor. It is best to use the lowest effective strength as using high strength topical steroids for periods of time can cause side effects such as thinning of the skin.
4. Coal Tar – this should be used under the supervision of a doctor as it can irritate some people’s skin. Coal tar has a strong smell and can stain clothing.
5. Cyclopsorin oral medication – this medication is sometimes used in helping to manage the symptoms of severe eczema. It reduces the immune system activity which in turn reduces inflammation. However there can be very serious side effects and its use has to be monitored very strictly.
6. Evening Primrose Oil – this is either applied topically or taken in capsule form. This oil contains gamma linolenic acid which is thought to be lacking in some of those who have eczema.
7. Phototherapy – this is another treatment for those with chronic eczema where the patient is exposed to up to 30 sessions of ultraviolet radiation. Expert supervision is required because the risks are the same as for sunbathing namely accelerated aging of the skin and the increased risk of skin cancer.
Therefore if you take good care of your skin and choose a course of treatment that will work, you will go a long way to keeping your eczema under control.
