I have had my share of bad eczema, and I found it really helped when my partner (now Husband) helped apply my cream on the areas I could not reach. Not only is this practically useful, but it made me feel he didn't care about my 'problem' skin and was happy to help me clear it up. Some even say you can use it along with massage to 'get the mood' going .. it's not a bad thing, and I must say it's good to know there are still people who realise it's not an infectious disease and are willing to be positive and not negative about it. People with eczema often feel self conscious - especially if it's on the face - but remember, there are many worse things you could have!
Well done to you and good luck with the massage!!

YES - Eczema is no longer a great tragic disease with no hope, it is actually very easy to deal with. Getting to the root cause is the answer. Spending the rest of her life plastering herself with chemicals, or taking weird and wonderful self-proclaiming drugs should not be an option.
All that is wrong with her is her immune response has gone a little bonkers. This is due to a group of complex carbohydrates missing, which results in a breakdown in biological data transfer in her body. Address that, and you solve the problem.
First things she MUST do is avoid Aspartame like the proverbial plague, and quit anything containing Caffeine. She should drink at least 2 litres of bottled still mineral water per day (anyone who tells you that bottled water is just a hype, has no idea what they are talking about).
Finally, take care.

This should help soothe the condition if done regularly. When running a bath, place an old stocking leg filled with porridge oats under the running tap. Then leave the "oat parcel" in the bath while bathing. This has proved to be quite effective. Hope it helps

YEP! i have it too! I've tried EVERYTHING! but the only thing that clears it up is the tanning bed! Believe it or not it helps so much. I dont go all the time because of all the hype about skin cancer, but during the winter it helps so much!
Her doctor could also give her steriods to get it under control. She wouldnt want to take them all the time because of all the side effects.
her best bet is the tanning bed.

Avoid milk and oral antibiotics. Humidity is the worst thing to happen to eczema. If she wears sweaters or anything that causes heat and humidity, it's going to aggravate it. Keep her skin bare (unless it's private areas) when possible and in dry situations and it should be fine. Apply diplorene, which is a prescription when she does have an outbreak.

1. Encourage her to take a shower once in a while (at least once a week)
2. Wash her clothes
3. Change the bed sheets and cover this year
4. Use medication. / take her to a doc
If nothing works, You might be the reason. Stay away for a while

try getting her to cut down on dairy products as this is said to aggravate the problem and I'm guessing she is already under the care of a dermatologist if not get her to go down to her GP and asked to be referred to one as they can do tests to see if her eczema is due to something linked to her diet.

I understand that eczema is one skin condition that is caused by the Candida fungus. There is some basic info about the Candida (yeast) fungus at www.hufa.org at the yeast link.

Try dream cream from Lush all natural its got great reviews
Ingredients: Oat Milk (Avena sativa), Rose Water (Rosa centifolia), Olive Oil (Olea europaea), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Tincture of Benzoin (Styrax benzoin), Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia), Chamomile Oil (Anthemis nobilis), Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), Lavender Oil (Lavandula hybrida), Cetearyl Alcohol, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
* Occurs naturally in essential oils
Description: Those of us with skin that gives us severe problems sometimes (or all of the time) could spend our lives dreaming of a beautiful, clear, trouble free epidermis. We try many beauty creams and pharmaceuticals, you name it, we've used it, but still our bothersome skin won't behave. Give Dream Cream a try; we get loads of letters about how well it works (see below). Why? Because it is made with every calming plant we can get our hands on: oats have been used on the skin as far back as Celtic times, softening rose water, calming lavender and chamomile, olive oil to moisturise and loads more (see above). The scent sometimes takes a bit of getting used to as it's not your average floral thing, more of a herbal approach. Get some. There's no point in having a dream unless you're going to have a decent crack at making it come true
Reviews
'I have suffered from eczema for as long as I can remember and after using a number of steroid creams and moisturisers, was introduced to your products by a friend. At first I was wary but tried a number of your products. Almost all of them have been excellent on my skin but best of all is Dream Cream. Please can you tell me if you will always make this or if it will go off the shelves to be replaced by another product. It is such a relief to find something so good after searching for about 11 years that it would be awful if I was to discover that it was going to be discontinued at any point. Also the Alkmaar soap is fantastic! Well done in producing such fantastic products. Thanks' Sarah Blackburn
'I work as a jeweller and my hands live a very hard life, plus the fact I suffer with eczema. Well that was before I started using Dream Cream.' Sakura

"My current mosturiser, this one is really rich but works really well. The lavender scent is a little over powering sometimes though, but is a good scent for before bed."..

"I have used this for over 2years now, but mostly on my face, it's fantastic if, like me, you have very sensitive skin, especially if you are allergic to lanolin. this leaves my skin feeling lovely and fresh and very smooth, brilliant for all those who have given up on ever finding the perfect sensitive skin moisturiser :D :D please don't ever stop making this or my face will crumble away!!!!"..

"Very soothing afterbath/shower cream. Perfect for use with "Dreamtime" bath melt and "dream wash" body smoothy.
The finishing touch. Get loads for your money. I always have this subtly fragranced cream in.
If you don't have the time of money for the others get this! I warn you though - its addictivly nice!"..
