I recently developed a severe case of eczema on my leg. The shin part looks like crocodile skin...very unattractive. I went to the dermatologist asap!!! I have been using the corticosteriod VANOS (flucinonide .1%) which appears to have made it worst. I'm not happy especially since the medication cost $160 with insurance. I recently switched to triamcinolone .1%. I also use Eucerin cream through out the day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Alpha hydroxy is used to exfoliate dead skin cells.

I Know lots of people that have had eczema really bad,and have tried EVERYTHING, only to have nothing really work.
Anyone from 3 years old to 80 years old.
Really sad.
Until they tried a lotion that I know of that has T-36 C3 melaleuca oil in it.( T-36 C3 is the highest grade of tea tree oil )
I personally do not have eczema,but this has really helped alot of people.
I don't sell it or anything but if you want more info you can email me at enhancinglivesdaily@yahoo.com

the more you peel off the skin the more it will trigger the eczema.
My son has eczema too all over the face a month ago. The doctor prescribed PERDERM 0.05% this is very mild medication and a LIPOBASE CREAM to moisturize the skin. In 3 days the eczema is gone, but his skin looks dry. What we did is we continued using LIPOBASE CREAM until now, and his skin looks supple and flawless again.
Try to look perderm and lipobase in the web so you can see more information. I also recommend that to my friend a week ago for her nephew, and it also worked!! i keep answering question here and recommending that medicine to help people with problem like yours. If you want to see his face before I can send you the picture, just let me know.

Desonide Ointment 0.05% is really good for eczema, use it myself. Have to go the dermatologist to get the perscription. Keep using the Eucerin.

Mario Badescu's Enzyme Gel Cleanser. Its a cleanser (hence the name) and it contains the AHA's that you seek. Its an awesome cleanser that does not foam and smells great. It also removes make up and wont dry your skin.

go back to the dermatologist and ask for "Topicort" and continue using the Eucerin.
