I had a really unusual form of eczema...laymen call it Housewive's Eczema, I don't know what the medical term is...but anyway, when I went to the doctor for it, they gave me a steroid cream and it helped a lot. I don't know what kind of eczema you have, but there are a lot of options for relief. See your doctor.

You need a good creme for it; such as a steroidal creme. Most of all, you need to do some detective work and figure out what is causing the eczema. Most likely, it is an allergic reaction to something. Eliminate the allergin, and you eliminate the eczema.

I suffer from terrible eczema and I use a cream called hydrocortizone which really helps. It helps to take the itching away and makes the redness and cracks in my skin seem less prominent. Also, you could try to put Epaderm on at night which moisturises your skin and Epaderm solution in your bath which helps to seal the skin. Hope this helps!

The creams are really good. But OTC stuff won't do much for you depending on the severity of it. Mine is the highest dosage just to dent it. If it's mild, an OTC cortizone cream might work. Good Luck

You really need to see a doctor for this one. There are different types of eczema.
Based on that, the doctor will recommend the best cream for you. Sometimes, you can go to your pharmacist and they can make a cream for you based on the doctors recommendations.
