I have tried everything from the right detergent, the right lotions, I bought a humidifier, and using the right stuff in the shower, I've been to three different dermatoligist as well. I heard using a tanning bed might help. Does any one know if this is true? This is my last hope.

They use ultraviolet rays to "cure" alot of dermalogical things and it certainly would be a good thing to atleast try it and if nothing else,you would end up with a glowing tan.

I have a friend that has it really bad on her hand and it worked great for her.A Couple times a week would help it Greatly! I Tan from April till Sept and it makes my skin look Great I feel so much better about my self when I tan,I go 2 or 3 times a week for 20 minutes.If you have Never Tanned you have to start out slow and work your way up to 20 minutes.

I have the same problem and while I've heard that heat can make a little better, I doubt that would have the desired affect.
Why have you used as far as lotions go?
You need a lotion that has a Glucocorticoid (a type of steroid) in it.
That is the ONLY thing that works for me. It takes a few days for it to work, and it is usually is gone by the end of the week.

I have a little on my back and the tanning bed does help. Or at least oit did mine. This in not a cure...chances are it will come back after you have not been tanning for a while.

No i had eczema an all it would do is mess up more of your skin. Tanning beds aren't good to use period. For NO reason.

It depends on the type of eczema you have...there are a few. I get hydro-eczema on my hands and tanning doesn't work!

no, it would probably make it worse. especially if you get a burn.
