does anybody know of a cream or home remedy for ECZEMA i am tired of watching my daughter scratch blood?

Answer 1

Ultra-violet lamp. Expose problem areas 15 minutes, twice a day and then cover to prevent scratching.

Answer 2

There are some great prescription creams and lotions that work wonders for eczema. Have you taken your daughter to be seen by her doctor for the diagnosis of excema, or are you self-diagnosing? The reason I'm asking is that there are a lot of skin conditions that can mimic excema, but are treated differently. If you take your daughter in to be seen, the doctor can prescribe a medication for the irritation that will work better than anything you can find over the counter.
As far as over the counter stuff goes, I've found that hydrocortisone cream is pretty effective at helping with itching.
You also might try using a lotion without creams, dyes, or perfumes. If your daughter is a baby, you could also try putting mittens on her hands so she can't scratch.
Hope this helps!

my daughter has the same trouble often they do not scratch to cause it to bleed it is just the eczema. I take it she has seen a doctor for you to know what it is and know that it is caused by a allergy.
I use aveeno products on my daughter she gets lotion everyday and only a bath every other day luke warm water no hot. after a bath from neck to toes she gets rubbed with ecerderm lotion.
Every night she takes 1/2 a alvert over the counter pill ( she will be 5 in december) She will be taking this medicine for the rest of her life as I am told. watch for things that cause flare ups, such as smoking, pets, dust, foods, grass, soaps, Use dye free laundry detergents. try gluten free foods that has been linked to breakouts.
A doctor can prescribe a steroid that you use little of when they get weepy and bleeding areas. It usually works overnight and one treatment works for my daughter. If they do not go away then they need to see a allergiest to find out what they are allergic to.

although i dont have eczema i have suffered from psoriasis since i was a child and the 2 conditions are from the same 'medical family' im no doctor but keeping the skin moist is usually a good thing so a very mild moisteurizer unperfumed on the areas may help also there is nothing better for the skin than water so ensure they drinnk enough of it i never have really hot showers/baths as hot water can irritate the skin so just be careful to have their baths/showers at luke warm hope this help and good luck with it also aloe vera is good...i used to snap a bit off the aloe vera tree when i vacation in spain...split the leaf and rub the lotion on any sores/bites etc....

Answer 5

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

Best Eczema Treatment?

Answer 6

Try to keep her skin moist. Have her pat dry after bathing and then apply lotion. There are many lotions out there that may work. If there are places that are particularly back try putting a thick layer of vaseline on them and then covering with gauze. Try an oatmeal bath (put some plain oats in a knee high hose, tie off the end and allow it to float in the tub while she soaks. Give her an oral antihistamine (like benedryl) as well.

This is a toughie...I use Sulfur Soap. A good hard milled soap is best, lasts longest and it does help me a lot. Also, moisturisers. One hand creme I use is..funny name...Zims Crack Cream. I swear, thats the real name and it's great stuff.
