Vitamin E cream applied thinly but not rubbed in. Then if you can get it where you are Aqueous cream applied 3 times daily.

Good luck and Happy New Year

Ahhh my children do suffer from this every year. For a prescription,my daughter uses Beta- Val. For my son,I was told to rub on him the over the counter Dermarest Psoriasis medicated skin treatment. I know its not specifically for Eczema,but it does work. In a couple of days his is a lot better.

Hmm...haven't heard of a couple of those. All I know is it hurts like something else to get it wet. I know, I know..."Then don't get it wet" I have to shower though.

WHHEWWWWWWWWWW!!

Had me worried......I was planning on eating there later!

The aqueous cream acts as a sort of barrier cream and sooths as it protects. It is a real bitch on clothes though so try to wear something cotton. Anything else tends to stick.

Doesn't this thread belong on the How To board?

Uh oh... the thread police are here!!!

I wondered about that myself but decided to post it here anyway. It will be gone within 24 hours. No worries.

The past few years I've gotten it on my hands in the winter months... My doc gives me a script for Fluocinonide creme. It works really well, but you will need to get a doc to write you a script for it. It's a topical anti-histamine.

HTH

My son used to get eczema really bad. Backwards and forwards I went to different doctors. When I moved I found a doctor's surgery only a few houses away from me. I went to him, he was an older Doctor and he prescibed an ointment that had tom be made up by a chemist. it had coal tar, sulphur and fish oil in it. It sounds disgusting and smelt a little but it was amazing stuff! The only thing is I cannot remember the name of it.
Good luck though PacificBlue. It isn't fun at all having eczema.

You don't need to tell me that. uuggghhh. I'm calling the dermo tomorrow. Luckily it can't be seen by anyone.

Vaseline. And add humidity to your house.

I am lucky, I only suffer from it when I am pregnant. Good luck at the dermotologists.

Had this throughout my formative years, you have my sympathies.

I found a general antiseptic skin cream that did the job. It was/is still called Sudocrem. But I don't think it'll be sold under that name over there. It was an aqueous cream with tonnes of zinc oxide in. The directions advised its use for minor cuts, grazes, rashs, sunburn and eczema.

 

[Ask For More]

My eczema is stress related, but it only started showing up last year when I was doing my finals. So I've only recently realised that I had it!

But it's very mild and nothing a bit of cream can't clear up. It's still very upsetting to know that I'm so stressed out though!

 

[PacificBlue]

Mine is weather releated and stress related. As a good friend has told me..."I'm wound too tight" Unfortunately, the more of it I get the more I stress out about it. Uuuuggghhhhh.

Have I mentioned the hives?

hmm... can someone say....
