You probably already know this, but eczema is an inflammation of the skin where a known cause may not be readily apparent. It may be attributed to sensitivity, toxicity or an allergy. Exzema is characterized by an outbreak or papules that frequently cause considerable itching. I do know of a lotion that has worked on numerous people with eczema including children under 2 years old that were previously put on steroidal creams. It might be considered spam if I were to recommend this lotion, but you may want to consider using a topical cortisone cream with 1.0% cortisone, Lanacort or Lanacaine (which contains lidocaine-a numbing agent) to stop the itch. As for healing, you are welcome to contact me at any time so I can share further with you what the lotion is I am speaking of. It is not recommended to use cortisone creams or any steroidal creams over the long term but this will help immediately. Also, you may want to consider benedryl or dyphenhidramine (generic) for itching. I too, suffer greatly from itches that hurt, but that in only a symptom of what I have throughout my system. Basically, you should consider environmental toxins, like laundry soap (which is loaded with toxic fillers, so the consumer thinks they get more, but are actually doing more harm than good). Shampoo's and body washes can also be skin irritants, so your best bet is to keep the chemicals in your environment to a minimum and try using the cream and anti-histamine (your body produces histamines when exposed to allergins). For the healing of your skin, try switching to a laundry product that contains few or no fillers. I was shocked at how well I have done by just changing brands. I hope that this will help you some, as none of the doctors I consulted over the last 10 years helped me until I switched to chemical-free
products. Contact me if you like, as I really do understand what you are going through. At one point, they wanted to amputate my aarms because I had caused a secondary infection (BAD) by scratching my arms, fortunately,. they decided to give my arms a skin graft. I don't wish this upon anyone, and wish to share my experience, strength and hope along the way. Please let me know if you are getting better. Also, over the counter you can get a product called "Gold Bond" in a spray that did relieve some of my itching, but you must be careful of secondary infections resulting from open scratched areas, it is very hard not to scratch an itch, so if some of your itchy areas are red, please use a triple antibiotic cream on these areas so as to keep infection to a minimum.
Good luck, from someone who's been there. Oh, antibiotics did NOT help any, if anything they made the condition worse.

Skin diseases are no longer a problem to control.
A group of complex carbohydrates should normally be attached the proteins of every single cell in the human body. The transfer of all biological data at cellular level depends upon all of those carbohydrates being in place. This is the mechanism which is 'Immune Function'.
Diseases such as Eczema, Psoriasis or Hives, are somply the result of the immune system not being able to recognise that there is a problem in the first place.
Replacing these missing carbohydrates is quite straight forward, and promotes proper immune response. This attacks the root cause of the disease.

Try a lotion that does not have lanolin in it.........
Baby majic lotion does...... you can buy an over the counter crotosine cream, and also try vaseline, that works very well....
Also try aveeno, its an oatmeal base cream that works very well as well... also try their bar soap and/or body wash...
My son had excema very badly when he was younger, this worked very well, now his skin is clear.... adn on dark skin that's hard to acheive....
Also if you n otice it turning white, go see your doctor, that may mean a fungus is growing and it will only spread, Use sulsun shampoo on it, that works well.... and an anti-fungus cream may be perscribed....f

I'm no doctor, but you might need to go see a dermotologist. Because if it is beginning to hurt, it might be a little serious. If you have been using lotions with heavy scents or alcohol added into it, that might have cause a reaction with you excema.
