I have eczema on my tummy and smearing it with a little Manuka honey is working great! (a little sticky though) It really has been calming the itching and is starting to heal up after on 3 days. Try it. You can get Manuka honey at just about any health store.

I wonder if it is an allergic reaction. If you are still in contact with the substance you are allergic to, the rash will not go away. People develop allergic reactions to products that they have been using for years so don't assume that a product is safe just because you have been using it all along. There are two methods for figuring out if the allergy is causing the problem. One (the quickest method) is to stop using everything you have been using and slowly re-introduce the products you want to continue using. Start with laundry soap (and realize that you will have to wash all of your clothes to test this one - a trip to the laundromat will get it done faster), shaving cream, soap, moisturizer, sunscreen or any other product you use on your legs. 1 tbsp of baking soda with 1 cup of water can replace any of your cleaning products - at least as a temporary measure. After the rash goes away, re-introduce no more than one product a week and watch carefully for the return of the rash. The second method is to remove one product at a time for a week or two each and see if the rash goes away. Remember what I said about laundry soap earlier. In the meantime, keep returning to the doctor to search for other options in case it is actually a bacteria or virus instead of an allergic reaction.

By accident, we found DooDoo soap at a Jamaican shop. They can barely keep the stuff in. We've sent it to our son and to a dear friend w/ problems from chemo. Works great.

I use the walmart version of eucerine...it works great....I apply it on my little girl like 3 times a day...works just as good if not better than what her doctor prescribes.

If it's really bothersome, go to the doctor. They can prescribe whatever is appropriate. Sometimes OTC meds just irriate it if you're using the wrong meds.
