Alternative remedies for eczema?

Question

I've got mild eczema on my fingers and toes at the moment, and it's irritating me! I used to have it really badly all over me, so used steroid cream, but I don't want to use steroids for this. I don't get affected by soaps or anything; I use ones that don't irritate it, and my clothes don't make it worse. Does anybody have any alternative remedies?

Answer 1

Evening primrose. It also helps with PMS symptoms. AND it's inexpensive.

Answer 2

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 3

I've had eczema all my life, and honestly it bugs the hell outta me lol. To stop the itching, I suggest taking an oatmeal bath - you can buy them over the counter pretty much anywhere. Aloe vera lotion helps too. I've found that really the only way to get rid of it for a while is a 1% or stronger hydrocortizone cream. I think you can buy 1% over the counter, but you need a perscription for stronger. And I know this is gonna sound like torture, but i found that swimming in the ocean helped. It stings worse than you can imagine when you first get in, but later I guess the salt kinda plugs it up and makes it less itchy. Oh, and since i moved to humid humid Florida, I havnt had a breakout in ages.

Answer 7

I suggest all natural Optiflora which will treat the cause internally and not just the sumptom.

This two-product system uses new technology to protect beneficial microflora during the rigors of shipping, storage, and the acidic journey through your stomach. Other products claim live microflora at the time of manufacture. Optiflora guarantees the delivery of live microflora to your intestine.

This two-product system includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora). Patented guaranteed delivery of 500 million microflora to intestines.

Many times when we have something going on inside our bodies it will manifest itself to the outside in a form such as eczema.

Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Answer 8

Just go a buy some Tinactin over the counter anywhere, and always use gloves when you wash any dishes. I have it and dish soaps irritate my hands terribly. It could be some sort of hard well water causing it too.

Answer 9

dried bitter gourd you can find at the chinese medical halls. Boil it, cool it then Bathe in it. It works.

I agree with Jenny here. I get it too sometimes and I use the Tanactin too.
