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).
