There is a skin lotion called Renew that is manufactured by a company I know a lot about that has worked wonders with eczema. There are numerous testimonials from people who say they have gone long stretches without another outbreak after using this product. I could tell you more about it if you e-mail me at teatreelifestyle@aim.com. I promise I am not trying to spam you in any way. I care about your problem.

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.

I use balneum bath oil when my eczema flares up, its soothing and healing. In the UK its available on prescription but it can also be bought over the counter(would probably need to be ordered in though). In a flare up I use dermovate ointment and occlusion which usually means I only have to do 2 nights treatment instead of a week (non occluding). During "normal" skin time I use Norwegian fisherman's formular hand cream which is very rich and deep moisturising;

A topical (applied to the skin) medication may be prescribed to help relieve itching and inflammation. Another way to treat the itch is with a non-sedating antihistamine. If itching is severe, a sedative antihistamine may be recommended. Skin infections caused by bacteria, such as staphylococcus aureus (staph) or streptococcal (strep), are treated with an antibiotic. Some antibiotics are applied to the skin; others come in pill or liquid form. An antiviral is prescribed to treat an infection caused by a virus. The antiviral medication may come in topical, pill, or liquid form. It also may be given as a shot. An infection caused by a fungus is treated with an antifungal medication.

My daughter has eczema, we use Triamcinilone, and Aveno Extra Dry Skin lotion, she has severe eczema, and it keeps it clear, Triamcinilone is a steroid cream, or gel, the cream is kind of greasy, but the gel works better in the long run, it comes in a tub, or in a tube, you must have a perscription for it, so go to you're dermatologist and ask for it! It works wonders!!!

The use of anything that may dry out the skin should be discontinued and this includes both normal soaps and bubble baths that remove the natural oils from the skin.

The moistening agents are called 'emollients'. The rule to use is: match the thicker ointments to the driest, flakiest skin. Light emollients like Aqueous Cream may dry the skin if it is very flaky.

Emollient bath oils should be added to bath water and then suitable agents applied after patting the skin dry. Generally twice daily applications of emollients work best and while creams are easy to apply, they are quickly absorbed into the skin, therefore needing frequent re-application. Ointments, with less water content, stay on the skin for longer and need fewer applications.

Typical emollients are: Oilatum or Balneum bath oils, Medi Oil, Aqueous cream for washing with, Diprobase or Doublebase pump-action creams also used for washing and may be later applied directly to the skin.Sebexol, Epaderm ointment and Eucerin lotion or cream may be helpful with itching. Moisturizing gloves can be worn while sleeping.

i use a treatement called 'oilutum'. ots a liquid you put into your bath water. it hepls soothe the skin and therefore takes away the irritation. it cleared up my skin after a month or so.
if you have psoriosis(sorry cant spell it) to the scalp like me, try using polytar shampoo. its a bit pricey but your doctor can prescribe it as he can oilutum.
hope this helps
