Most people can control it with a lotion called Renew, in most cases it becomes unnoticeable and takes weeks to come back. The other thing to do is to find a pH-neutral laundry detergent and do not use bleach or any whitener that is not pH-balanced. This also applies to fabric softener also. This may keep it from coming back.

There is no cure but figuring out why you are having the allergic reaction is a start. Cows milk protein is sometimes a culprit. Vaccinations can also trigger this.
Supplementation with Essential Fatty Acids works wonders for some people. A deficiency in these is also a cause.

Eczema is also known as dermatitis. It is inflammation of the skin. There are numerous topical medications. Some eczema is caused by an allergic reaction to something that came in contact with your skin or it can be internal (known as atopic eczema). If the eczema is from an allergic reaction to something you touched, your dermatologist could "patch test" you. The test would tell you what allergen you are allergic to so you can avoid coming in contact with it. If eczema is internal, there are topical medications you can use to control the eczema. It may not be cured but with trial and error you may be able to find a cream or a combination of creams that can keep you under control... good luck

You can not cure Eczema. I have had Eczema all my life the only thing that I have found that helps me is that I use Tide to wash my clothes it seems to be the only one that dont break me out and Dove soap and then I just put lotion on after I shower and it tends to help keep my skin moist so it does not itch and if it is real bad I put on the Aveno cream it is great it has oatmeal in it and that is suppose to do wonders.

Cant cure it, can only control it. I have been to doctors about mine when I was little. All they did was give me some cream to help with the itching.

I don't believe it can be cured, only managed. I suffer from it as well (although only mildly). My doctor suggested I use hydrocortisone cream to control it. You can buy it OTC (Over the counter) at any pharmacy....it's otherwise known as anti-itch cream.

As far as I understand it, you can't. The one cream that was out seemed to have caused a greater number of cancers of some kind so I believe they took it off the market. We use Coraid, but not on the face. It helps some.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/NevGt
