Eczema problem...what can I do?

Question

I have patches of eczema on my elbow, thumb, and forearm; it's been there for forever, and it makes me self conscious when I leave the house! If anyone knows any good treatments for this (something that makes it top itching, and makes it go away) please tell me. I don't care if I have to smear raw eggs on it- it bugs the c**p outta me. my mom said coconut oil helps, but it makes it itch even more, and it gets red. Sorry if I bothered you by writing so much =P

Thanks for your help- Lauren

Answer 1

cortisone ointment sold over the counter is excellent for eczema.

Answer 2

Stay away from the halogen, energy saving lights.  They may contribute to eczema.

Answer 3

i have had terrible problems with eczema. i found a great product though. its totally natural and affordable. 4 dollars for a bar of soap. its called pine tar soap. i found it at this website. its a company called the soapmakery. its works really fast and wont harm your skin. check out the testimonials!!

Answer 4

Try to get some corticosteroid cream from your doctor.  

Answer 5

Hello there.  Vaseline helps (it moisturizes). For my eczema I use herbal cream from Champori.com with a great success, too.  Try it: it is natural and readily available online.

Best,
