What are some effective treatments for eczema?

Question

What works best for you?

Answer 1

I used to have eczema. It was partly stress related. I believe it is also food related. Mine got worse when I was a teenager from using hydrocortizone and betamethasone. But when I recently used some on my daughter, I realized that I probably had contaminated the jar back then. The most important thing to remember when your rash is open is: keep it clean, don't touch it. What worked for me then was topical erythromicin within an alcohol gel.

Answer 3

I read a website which said that eczema could be cured (or at least greatly helped) by doing the following:

1. Taking 3-4 baths a week with 2 cups of ACV - soak for 30 minutes then shower for a minute in cold water
2. 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals to take a tablespoon of ACV in a tepid glass of water. Add a little honey or blackstrap molasses for taste.

Many years ago I had a lot of eczema on my back which lasted a couple of years.

My cure? APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (ACV)!!!

My eczema was cured in 2 weeks of this regimen! At that stage, I had no idea why ACV would cure my eczema, but now I know that ACV ALKALISES the body. Eczema is a condition of excess acids in the body.

To make the bath even more powerful, you can add a cup of Epsom Salts and a cup of bicarbonate soda. You can read all about the alkalising bath on the alkaline/acid balance forum on Curezone. Also, check out the different ways to alkalise yourself yourself there.

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?

Answer 5

Hi,
This is a proven natural method to cure any types of eczema http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=556

According to medical experts, eczema is very common in babies and young kids. People from all races can get this skin condition. While genetics plays a part in its spread, it may also be caused by various allergens in the environment. Skin products that have strong chemicals and ingredients, like soaps and perfumes, can cause eczema; so can food sensitivities, abnormal reactions to weather changes, and even emotional or physical stress. Allergies to animal fur or dander are also probable causes of eczema.
I hope it helps

The cause of eczema is not known but aggravating factors include hands that are in constant contact with soap and water, harsh household products and some vegetable juices. If a physician does not specify a particular regimen, Arbonne has some recommendations that might alleviate the discomfort and itching. Although it sounds silly, the ABC (Arbonne Baby Care) line is perfect as it is the most sensitive, pure, safe, and beneficial to your skin. You can also try the Intelligence Cleansing gel, Skin Conditioning Oil, Hand Cream, and Body Lotion. People with skin conditions have tried these products and experienced amazing results. The products are formulated withOUT chemicals, dyes, fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol, wax, acetone, etc. These ingredients have been known to cause irritation and dryness for those with skin conditions. They are botanically-based and pH correct, pediatrician and dermatologist tested, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. They are formulated with pure, natural, botanical ingredients. I would be happy to help you learn more if you're interested. Good luck.

i have atopic ( i think that means i've had it as a child) it flares up when in summer it's really hot and the sweat is there and I scratch- i find not scratching impossible so in summer I have to wash frequently thru the day. I use only Cetaphil (commercial brand) 'soap' and their intensive moisturiser(with shea butter) - I also have dry skin. When it's humid it's better for my skin than dryness though because, unless I use my intensive moisturiser twice a day dryness makes it flake badly. when I was 5 or 6 years old I used to use aveeno bath powder I don't think it really worked well, but that could be my eczema reducing with age. Never used fragranced products near your eczema unless the labelling says it's hypoallergenic. ciao

Answer 10

Eczema is caused by the dryness of the skin. Try using a product called Cetraben (you can buy it as a cream or a bath additive).
Steriod creams aren't ideal because a lot of people are allergic to it.
As long as you keep your skin moisturized, the eczema shouldn't be as bad and don't ever scratch it - it will make it worse!!
