any one know of any eczema releif lotions?

Question

I have a prescription for medicine. I use it, not like i should but i do. I am looking for a good lotion that i can get to aleive dryness and itch too. My eczema is not really a flaky ashy type so moisture isnt the main concern more itch,.

Answer 1

I have the exact same problem. Try using Aveeno skin relief moisturizing lotion with cooling menthol. It works great. The menthol stops the burning itchy feeling and makes it feel cool. This is the best lotion that I have ever used for this problem. I hope that it helps you.

Hi!
Try Sesame Seed Oil, not the roasted one though!
It works miracles on dry skin and on eczema too.
When I was in Homeopathic school, our Anatomy-Physiology teacher was an Osteopath and swore by it.
It worked for a few of my patients also... You just rub it on make it penetrate well and you can shower afterwards. You can also put some in your bath and soak in it.
It's also wonderful for all kinds of rash, even diaper rash!!!
Try to get yours in the natural food section or store it's a lot safer. Don't expect immediate results, but you should see a difference after a few treatments.
Good Luck!

Hydrocortisone cream? I'm guessing you've tried this though.

What's been working great for my son, who has eczema, are oatmeal baths. After the bath I pat him dry with a towel. Then, it's time for moisturizer. We like Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Calming Creme. The container claims the lotion will help "break the bothersome itch-scratch cycle, and bring dry, itchy skin back under control."

Another friend with eczema suggested an aloe vera plant, for the fresh aloe. She said it worked wonders for her. I just got a plant this past weekend for my son. I haven't tried it yet. The plant needs to grow, and my son's eczema usually calms and vanishes during the colder months. So, I'll be set for next spring.

Good luck.

Edited to say: FYI-The Elidel cream that Kindashy mentions, which is available by prescription only, has been linked to an increased cancer risk. Here's a link:

Though it worked well, we chose to stop using it on our son.

Sexydragonfly suggested "Aveeno skin relief moisturizing lotion with menthol." If you want to save a buck or two, you can actually buy Mentholatum by itself. Just apply a thin layer where needed. My son's first dermatologist recommended this.

Answer 4

Now this may sound odd but it has given relief to many folks - Creamy Baby Oil. It's more like a cream than a oil. It provides the same benefits and protection, but it's faster absorbing and less greasy. It's pH balanced and dermatologist tested for delicate skin, and contains soothing vitamin E and allantoin to help prevent dryness and irritation.

I also suggest treating the cause internally with all-natural Optiflora. 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 intestines.

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

Hope this is helpful and for questions or the website, feel free to contact me.

Answer 5

a good over the counter thing to try is a hydrocortisone cream, it will take away the itch. Aveeno also makes an anti-itch lotion with oatmeal in it that's great.

Answer 6

I have not tried it but I have tried tons of creams and ointments. The only thing that I have found to work is vinegar. If you put it on your four year old she will scream and cry cause it burns, but after the initial burn it completely gets rid of the itch for at least ten hours.

Answer 7

I have had good results using Eczmend by Yamoa.
No chemicals just natural Kakapenpent and a bit vitamin E.
