I have had it for about 20 years! Diet helps, believe it or not. Pay attention if you itch or break out really bad after you eat something. Maybe dairy makes it worse, look at things like that. Also, I got some stuff on ebay by dermalgenesis - a nice cream. Not just for acne. It's affordable and I only apply it maybe twice a day in those areas that itch/break out. I was fortunate enough that it's not on my face at all, stress does aggravate it, though. Take care of yourself, hope it gets better for you real soon!

I had a friend that had eczema for a long time, she still has it off and on. From what she's told me, it's one of those things you are stuck with for life-but it comes and goes. However, she did use an over the counter cream called Eucerine and she says it does help and it's one of the few products out there that doesn't have dyes and perfumes that can aggrivate her condition and make Eczema worse. My friend also found out that she has some other allergies that affect her skin besides just eczema and there are certain lotions, shampoos, etc. that she can't use because she's allergic to some of their ingredients. The same may be true for you-you may have allergies that affect the skin in addition to Eczema, or it may be possible that your Eczema has subsided and what you think is Eczema is actually an allergic reaction to something. My suggestion: make sure to ask your parents in you've had any other allergy tests, and if you haven't, if it would be possible for you to get some. You may also want to ask your parents if they could get you some Eucerine, a lotion you can find in most drugstores, and some dye-free and fragrance free soap, if you don't have it already. Best of luck to you!

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?

Try Dermarest. It will not cure it as there is no cure, but it may help relieve the symptoms. It's really good for the price. Otherwise, a doctor can give you a prescription. Most of them are very expensive, but if you don't have insurance and can't afford it, ask your doctor if they have any samples. Be honest with him and tell him you really can't afford to buy the medicine. Most of the time they will have samples the pharmaceutical company reps bring by for them to give away. That is what they are for, people who may want to try a product or maybe can't afford it. And for me, it helps to avoid using soaps and other products with a lot of fragrance in them. Ask your doctor for a recommendation. The fragrance doesn't cause the eczema but it can irritate your skin and make it worse.

you will not regret the purchase of this product. I used it for myself aswell as my baby girls from age 6mths and their eczema went and so did mine. I always suffered with it, and it was not only burning me and itching me it was unsightly!!!
If u arent allergic to iodine then you will be fine with this, they shipm world wide and they began as a husband and wife team making the product from home. Now they are so popular they have gone onto the net and sold world wide. The following is a testimonial that says it all with pictures and it doesnt lie :)
