Answer 1

Are you sure it's eczema? I have eczema and have never had anything like that. Just dry itchy skin. It's true that you can't get rid of it. You can only control it. And it's usually in areas like the neck, face, and the inside of joints like the back of the knee and elbow. I find that my eczema usually occurs when I get stressed out.

There's stuff in grocery stores that you can buy for eczema, for example a product called Eucerin. But I would get a second opinion from another doctor to make sure it's not something else that your daughter has.

Answer 3

I am a 37 year old male that has had eczema all my life and unfortunately, there is no cure. It is NOT A DISEASE, it is a skin condition, caused by the skins inability to retain moisture. When your skin loses the ability to retain moisture, you get dry skin. With eczema, it actually affects a little deeper below the surface. Doctors do not know what the triggers are or at time of life one gets it. I was 5 or 6 when mine started. My daughter was around 1 or 2. Yes, eczema can be passed from parent to child, as I did with mine.
I have used everything from Neosporine to coal tar ointment but to no avail. I had to get a script from my doctor. I use Lac - Hydrin 12 % cream. Now, mind you, 12 % is a little too strong for your daughter, but they do have a 0.1% that may work. My daughter uses Elocon 0.1% cream with much luck.
Either way, ask your doctor which he/she feels is best. Good luck.

I have eczema and although it is a lifetime condition, I don't have any right now and haven't had any for almost a year. Over the counter cortizone cream heals a lot of it! I had to go to the doctor and get special steriod cream for a couple of my outbreaks. After using that for a week it was completely gone! Keep in mind that eczema is highly treatable even though there is no "cure".

Good luck!

Answer 5

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.

Best Eczema Treatment?

Answer 6

i am 22 and for about 12 years of my life i have had eczema there is no cure for it. the only thing you can do is hydrate the skin. my dermatologist recommended to never use lotion use a cream, cream is more thicker and will help seal in moisture. don't give her really warm to hot showers this will irritate the skin give nice cool showers. when done showering don't wipe her dry just pat her with the towel or better yet let her air dry so that the water will absorb some in her skin. as soon as she is don't air drying put on the cream her pores will be open and will take in the cream. i would go to the doctor and ask for some sort of cream for her. you can never fully get rid of it it might go away for a little bit but it will come back it you stop hydrating her skin. i hope that this has helped you. like i said this is what my dermatologist has told me and its hardly visible but still there. good luck!

Answer 7

Eczema is most common in infants, and at least half of those cases clear by age 3. In adults, it is generally a chronic or recurring condition.

Treatment may vary depending on the appearance (stage) of the lesions -- acute "weeping" lesions, dry scaly lesions, or chronic dry, thickened lesions are each treated differently.

Anything that aggravates the symptoms should be avoided whenever possible, including any food allergens and irritants such as wool and lanolin.

Dry skin often makes the condition worse. When washing or bathing, keep water contact as brief as possible and use less soap than usual. After bathing, it is important to trap the moisture in the skin by applying lubricating cream on the skin while it is damp. Temperature changes and stress may cause sweating and aggravate the condition.

Treatment of weeping lesions may include soothing moisturizers, mild soaps, or wet dressings.

Mild anti-itch lotions or topical corticosteroids (low potency) may soothe less severe or healing areas, or dry scaly lesions.

Chronic thickened areas may be treated with ointments or creams that contain tar compounds, corticosteroids (medium to very high potency), and ingredients that lubricate or soften the skin. Systemic corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce inflammation in some severe cases.

The latest treatment for eczema is a class of skin medications called topical immunomodulators (TIMs). These medications are steroid-free. They include tacrolimus (Protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel).

There are several different types and subtypes of eczema; therefore there are several different treatments.

Here is a website dedicated to providing comprehensive information to patients and all of their content has been reviewed by an independent board of medical advisors to ensure that their information is accurate.

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/7XsVB
