I would recommend getting lots of sunshine or buying a UV lamp. Salt water is excellent, providing you live near a beach. Also, I highly recommend going to your local organic-whole foods store and buying Dead Sea Salt for your bath. I have psoraisis, which is kinda similar to eczema and all these work wonders...hope they help you!!!

My two and a half year old has severe eczema which covers his body it has been so hard coping with it.Could your doctor refer him to a dermatologist ?I know how much suffering comes with eczema it is worth mentioning.My son was recently allergy tested we have not recieved the results yet but it's a relief something is being done.He had the allergy test by taking blood from his arm he never felt a thing as he was numbed with a local anesethic first.If he is allergic to something then elimnating that would help.My sons scratching has kept him awake for nights on end.An antihistamine medicine may help in the meantimeit helps my son and can really relieve the itching,talk to your doctor if taking that is suitable as you can get it from the chemist. keep putting the emollient on four times a day at least and cover him in it,cover him in it before getting in to the bath too and let him soak.My sons dermatologist said it's best to bathe each day as it keeps the skin soft which will reduce scratching.My son has tubifast garments which are basically leggings and a top kind of like an all over bandage.I put the emollients on and then the garments over the top.It helps the cream sink in more,puts a barrier on the skin to stop breaking skin and causing infection during scartching and it is more comfortable and less messy when you can put normal clothes over the top.You can buy these garments but if you ask your doctor they might consider prescribing them to you. If you use a steroid cream twice a day and you want his skin to have a break from it wean him from it slowly,once a day then once every other day or the inflammation can just pop back up worse.Hoovering your sons room each day especially the mattress might help as it reduces dust and dust mites which irritate eczema skin.Ask your doctor for a referal if it's bad then he will be getting the best care by the proffesionals.Good luck and you can email me anytime if you ever want to talk.I'm not an expert but I do know what you are going through. I agree with the answer above steroid creams are not always the answer but if it's severe like my sons has been sometimes you have no choice it's the only way for relief but I really don't like using them.I was reassured that they are safe to use as long as you follow the fingertip rule.So many fingertips for certain body parts If you don't know how many I will copy it out for you from the paper I was given.

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

I have a daughter that has batteling with eczema for 10 years we have been to allergist's and dermatologists, and they keep giving the same steroids one right after another and it just thins the skin, so the answer to your question is yes there is a all natural product out there that I have found. I used it for 2 days and her eczema was completely cleared up. I took her to her DR. and she was completely amazed and told me what ever I was doing to keep it up because it was truly better than what she could offer, and it is truly less expensive too. The products I used were Renew and Mela Gel.

Try an oatmeal soak....but, honestly, natural remedies have never really worked for me. The best thing I have found to use is hydrocortizone cream. Cortaid Maximum Strength or Extra Strength Moisturizing Cream works the best for me...and it doesn't leave your skin all dried out. If it is really bad, though, I would go to the doctor...they can prescribe steroid treatments to get rid of it fast....good luck, eczema is a real pain....

Well the natural treatment for eczema is ---drink lot of water and avoid all sour fruits--no lemon or oranges or pineapples. Stick to papaya and apples. Drink Amla juice and Aloe vera.

The collection of emu oil based soaps from Featherstone are gentle and will not dry out the skin when bathing. In fact, the skin is left feeling soft and moist even after the bath. A post-bath application of an emu oil product will help keep the skin hydrated.

Use my Renew intensive skin therapy and natural cleaning detergent for your clothing. Lots of victim recovered after switching these 2 products.
