More user remedies on Eczema

I use Penatin Cream. It's the 'baby butt cream.' I'm not sure of its equivalent in the U.S. (I'm in Canada) It usually starts to disappear after about 24 hours.

I suffered from this condition since 1994 and after years of suffering and pains, I found the effective treatment through my Dermatologist, Dr.Nteta. 1. Avoid soap, use non-colorants and non-fragrance type. 2. Keep affected area moist with Emulsifying Ointments 3. More importantly, get prescription of DOVATE/OINTMENT with a mixture ratio of 1: 3. Avoid cream as a base of the mixture. THIS TREATMENT IS GUARANTEED.

Take a tsp of cream of tarter and mix it with a little water to make a paste and apply it right on the affected area...only use it after a bath or shower at bed time to make sure it stays on all night....let it dry before going to sleep...this helps with itchiness and redness.

On little kids I have found if you use a little amount of diaper rash ointment that contains zinc it clears it up so fast..

Try to stop using tarter control toothpaste. Check labels very carefully. Armen Hammer makes a toothpaste without any tarter control and I never get a canker sore as long I stick to no tarter Control. It really works for me try it. Those sore hurt.

Avon's Skin So Soft bath oil. It dries it out if you soak in a hot bath with it.

I use Ocean Potion (you can buy it at Walt-mart) on my eczema it contains Tea Tree Oil & Vitamins A, C, & E. I wear only 100% cotton clothes. I also try to keep my homes temperature at or below 70 degrees.

Coat affected areas after bath or shower with Vaseline. It will prevent a new outbreak of eczema and treat an ongoing one. It is also the most cost effective treatment.

I am allergic to certain types of wood sawdust, Cyprus and some kind of African wood. Vitamin E seems to help but once the blisters are all poped keeping water away seems to help. It is healing on its own.

Apply vinegar (cider or white) to affected area (be sure hands are dry before beginning process). Let dry on skin (You may feel a burning sensation like when you apply alcohol). Rinse with cool/cold water. This process instantly takes away the burning and itching of eczema and begins healing.
