I believe it’s hyrdocortisone that you put on it. A home remedy that really worked for my grandmother was Crisco (yes, the one for baking). Her dermatologist recommended it. My mom and aunts had tried evreything to relieve her, and finally the Crisco was the one thing that worked.

mometasone furoate ointment 0.1% works well on the irriatated spots. yet, the pediatricians told me to not use it often because it thins out the skin and leaves white patches. i use it on my daughter’s eczema too. she gets red patches on her cheeks and some spots on her forearm and calf. it gets real bad to the point when there is liquid oozing out. i use the ointment once shes asleep, apply a very thin layer and the next morning it usually clears up i then i would use aquaphor. im looking into using sarna lotion. can be purchase at walgreens or cvs pharmacy. i treid cetaphil not any help. my friends that have ezcema that are adults use cetaphil bar soap and the lotion. some say gold bond works as well

the best luck i’ve had is "eucerin plus intensive repair lotion".
get some disposable mechanics gloves to wear and squirt a generous amount into them. wear them at night when you sleep or when ever convenient

oiletum
i think that’s that its called
that helps a bit

or if u ask your doctor about the use of steroid creams, that really helps me (i use Protopic)
but the downside with that is when you stop using them, it may come back a bit worse than before.

to stop the itching an antihistamine should work, unless your like me, then you again will need to as your doctor for a stronger one (unfortunately i cant find the ones i use, if i find the box, ill re post)

Comment on How often should you bathe an infant with eczema? by Luv my kids 4evr

I have a little boy with severe eczema and we were told by our pediatrician to treat it with Hydrocortizone (sp?) cream applied to the affected area twice a day. We only bath him every 2 days and only for about 5-10 minutes. Frequent bathing removes the natural oils from the skin which can cause eczema to become worse. We also use a cool mist humidifier in his room to help keep his skin hydrated. Oh and after a bath make sure you moisturize his skin within 5 minutes of taking him out so he doesn’t dry out too much. You can also use baby oil in the bath water.

EDIT:
Also switch to a baby safe washing detergent and don’t use any fabric softener or dryer sheets.

Comment on How do you get rid of eczema without buying anything? by pizza lover!

u can’t, simple as. i’ve had it since i was two, now im 13 (14 in july) and even with all the prescriptions, dermatologists, dietitions and paedritions it hasn’t gone.
so sorry but you will have NO luck on your own.
tell youir frind to visit a doctor, its VERY important before it gets out of hand.
but meanwhile here’s a few tips (if anyone has tips it’s me!):

1. stay away from perfumes and other potentionally irritating smells
2 don’t do the washing up
3. have short, quick warm (not hot) daily baths
4. of course ‘not scratching’ is hard so only scratch with a clean surface that won’t infect
5. cut nails as short as possible
6. imagine that if you scratch something bad will happen (like you will melt or turn into a frog!)
7. wear soft, cotton clothing
8, don’t wear too much cothing, the cooler the better
9. wear long sleeves and fully cover legs.so you can resist the urge to scratch
10. keep yourself busy!!!!! i have my entire day full of things to do and keep my hands busy just so i forget about scratching.

hope these work and good luck, once again i stress the importance of seeing a doctor ASAP.
