2. Noxema the original (not the newer fancier versions) works great too! Apply Noxzema to the infected area twice a day. It helps with the discoloration that can sometimes left by eczema. Keep using it until eczema is gone within 2 weeks.
3. Drink tomato juice daily, it will cure the symptoms in a few days. But I don't think you'll like it!
4. Avoid foods with dairy! Dairy products, eggs, nuts, preservatives and citrus fruits are more likely to trigger eczema.
5. Get oatmeal baths (once/twice a day to stops itchness) mixed with almond oil & castor oil. They do help with the itching a LOT!!
Here's how:
You'll need a blender, food processor or coffee grinder and 1 cup of oatmeal. You can use instant oatmeal (unflavored), quick oats or slow cooking oats- all work equally as well. For babies, you'll only need about 1/3 cup per bath.
Blend or process the oats on the highest setting until you have a very fine, consistent powder. To test the colloid property of the oats, stir 1 tablespoon oats into a glass of warm water. If the oats readily absorb the water and give it a milky look and a silky feel, you've blended long enough.
Giving the bath:
Sprinkle the oats into a tub of running water and stir the water with your hand several times to ensure even distribution. Add 3-5 tablespoons of castor & almond oil each.
Feel along the bottom of the tub for clumps and break up any you find.
Get into the tub carefully as the oats & oils will make the tub even more slippery than usual. Allow yourself to soak in the tub for 15-20 minutes and pat dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing.
You can use this bath once or twice a day.
GOOD LUCK!!

I, too suffer from eczema.
There's no way to cure it.
Drink a lot of water to hydrate your skin and seek help from a dermatologist. They'll probably supply you with a hydrocortisone cream.

Elidel works really well...but it is prescription.
Try oatmeal baths. Make sure your skin stays dry. Use lotion, especially in the drying winter months.
OTC hydrocortisone cream might help too.
