well i have eczema and i've been to dermatologists and everything and there's no cure.
they have creams like elidel and protopic in a prescription but they're kind of a hassle and dont cure it all the way they just kind of help.
anything you buy over the counter wont work very well. just try and use products that aren't too harsh. use cetaphil liquid soap (you can get it at the drug or grocery store) in the shower and products by aveeno.
sorry i know it sucks!!!

Eczema is a condition, not a disease. It has no cure in that there is nothing that will make it go away and not come back.
Cortisone creme is a good treatment. The best treatment is finding out what causes your eczema to flare up and avoid triggering it in the first place.
One common trigger, found in many lotions and skin treatments, is lanolin. Some antibiotics, citrus fruit, detergents...many things can be a trigger. Try eliminating things for a week, one at a time, to see if improvement matches with something. Or, see an allergist, a true allergy may be behind your symptoms.

Natural treatment worked best for me without harmful effects of steroids. I used SerenaSkin eczema herbal remedies - ointment and spray on the skin, and anti-eczema extract internally to prevent future breakouts. It is the most effective treatment I've ever tried. More than a year later my skin is still clear.

cetaphil lotion and body wash. My daughter has eczema so bad that it causes sores sometimes and by making sure that's the only stuff I use her eczema is under control. it's a little expensive but worth it. you can buy it at any store. I prefer the cetaphil cream, it moisturizes better.

Cure = Proper diet
Relief = Eucerine Calming Cream ... When it's real bad you can buy 1% Hydrocordosone cream and mix it with the Eucerine Calming cream.
