help with Exzema? I was diagnosed with it in my ear and prescribed ear drops. That worked, but now I have something on my neck/hairline that itches bad. I used the ear drops on it and it helped, but I'm almost out. I have no insurance so I don't want to go to the doctor right now. Is there anything that can help??

Try OTC hydrocortisone cream. That will relieve the itching & inflammation.

Nothing works better than a mixture of glycerin (50%) and Vaseline petroleum jelly (50%). Spread it over the affected area at bedtime and wake up to the smoothest and cleanest skin in the morning. When you shower, the dry scales will simply fall off, taking with them the infected particles of your dermis. Over a period of time, fresh, new and clean skin will replace the old and sick skin, along with the cells. Try it, it really works.

Try calamine lotion. If that doesn't work try a three in one antiobiotic ointment, both available OTC.

Try Eucerin lotions and gels. They calm down the irritation quickly.
