Hi!
Okay at the minute my eczema is really bad and i want it to clear up soon but i only have two tubs of cream, one off the doctor which isn’t very good and the other is just a free sample so theres not much in it. That one is good but i have none left and cant find it in any shops.
So if you have a solution please answer back! Thank you.

Ask your doc for dermavate a very strong and good cream no over the counter stuff works on bad eczema.
sudocrem
Calendula cream is a marvelous treatment. It worked wonders for my son’s eczema. Most pharmacists stock it. Costs about £2.50- £3.00
hydrocortizone. or and Oatmeal bath soak in it they come in a box of packets
betnovate
I only have a little bit of eczema but I found that using organic soap (i.e. not detergent bars) has worked wonders.
Try using triple antibiotic cream! I use it on my grandson along with Elidel! So far it clears his right up, hope this helps!
sudocrem – its magic
Try Epaderm. You can buy it over the counter at Boots (although it’s a little expensive) or get it on prescription.
I bought a small tub from Boots on the recommendation of my health visitor for my little boy, it was so good that I asked the doctor for a prescription and he got us the big tub (worth about £15.)
It’s very versatile: you can use it straight from the tub, add it to bath water so that it treats your whole body, or mix it in a bottle with some hot water to make a lotion that’s great for dry hands and feet.
I just used E45 moisturiser cream. Once you get rid of the dry scaliness it seems to clear up quickly.
My doctor recommended petroleum jelly or 1% hydrocortisone for the bad spots. The jelly is messy, but hydrates and heals the itchy skin faster than normal lotions.
hey, I don’t know if it will work for adults but when my kid was an infant she had eczema and there is this avino oatmeal bath for kids. Just make a paste of it with water and when you get a chance like your just sitting around your house goop some on. it worked really well for her. also have you tried a google or yahoo search for the product that works for you, it has to be out their somewhere.
good luck
E45 cream is fantastic, you can get it in tons of different types, moisturiser, shower wash, ect ect.
Sudocreme is alos good
First of all & most IMPORTANT,,, are you sure it is excema?
It could be Psoriasis, which looks very similar.
You should see a dermatologist to determine which condition you have.
The treatments you may be using thinking it’s excema may NOT be working because you have psoriasis.
Great treatments for psoriasis are: Being spot injected with Cortisone, it hurts a little, but can clear it right up, or give you a great head start to use along with other medications. I like OLUX the best, it comes out of the can/bottle like mousse,, very easy to apply & helps tremendously.
go to your dermatologist. Excema is more treatable than psoriasis.
my son had this and i tried all sorts the dr gave us different types ,some made it worse.but i found eumobase cream the only thing to work for him used regularly it cleared it up,i think it has bees wax in it.there is one called eumovate, but i dont no bout this its not for children,
