Answer 2

Hi,
Sorry to hear your eczema is causing you so much trouble, a lady I know suggested I try something called neem oil on my daughters eczema patches and just recently I saw a clip in a newspaper about fish in the natural hot springs of turkey, the fish apparently nibble all sorts of dermatiitis and the natural spring water which is hot softens the skin and is supposed to work wonders on psoriasis and eczema. however it doesn't completely heal all ,it just improves the condition of the skin.Its worth going on holday and trying out if you can afford to if it has been troubling you for so long.If not try get hold of some neem oil. I can't personally recommend it has I haven't bought it yet, but the lady who told me said it is good. All the Best.

Answer 3

i know how it feels cause i had eczema before. i had also a worse experience that the eczema disease had hindered me to do my day-to-day activities. it pains a lot and i had suffered terrible itching and depression. suddenly a friend of mine suggested that i should visit this site http://www.skinoriginal.com
creams and other topical products cannot give what skin original has done good for me. now i pass it on to you to try it and be able to get an amazing skin and get rid of eczema. spread the word, i promise it works effectively i have tried it and i had experienced the difference.

Answer 4

I know how you feel, I have a combined skin problem, eczema and psoriasis, have had it (them) for years, and am now going to see yet another dermatologist. Try anything and everything, E45, Oilatum, etc - I am now down for Methotroxate because my psoriasis is so widespread and I have had it so long, but this drug is also used for rheumatoid arthritis, cancer etc and can damage your bone marrow, kidney and liver so you have to have blood tests every 5 days, etc. Sorry but this is not much help to you! Just need you to know that you have many fellow sufferers, and if I hear of anything that might help you I will write to you again. Very best wishes. Barry.

Answer 6

It's a pain, I agree. Other than using prescription cremes I've founf releif from a lotion called Renew Intensive Skin Therapy by Melaleuca. You can get it from a melaleuca distributor in your area, (look in the phone book). It is the only over the counter lotion or creme that has ever worked for me. Good luck!

Answer 7

There is only one thing that has worked for me and that is Silver Cream. In fact, it worked great with controlling my problem. You can get some sent to you from www.notaquitter.com. I got mine there and they ship world wide. Try it and I am sure that you will be out in the sun with a vest in no time

Answer 8

oucH! well i have a friend with eczema and i know that what really irratates her skin is the heating, but it usually goes away in the summer, try lots of aloe vera stuff for your skin, her bathoom is jam packed with the stuff, so i suppose it must work

Answer 10

Just a suggestion: Have you tried any Chinese herbalists? They are in most towns now, and the Chinese have been practising medicine for over 3000 years, so they may have something that works better than conventional medicine.

Answer 11

go to the doctor again and explain that the last cream didn't work, there are loads of different creams on the market, I think its a case of finding the right ingredients for your skin type.
