I can't use my prescription eczema cream anymore, because I found out I have been using WAY too much. It is a steroid cream and if you apply it too much like I did- it messes up your hormones badly. I stopped using it for 3 days and I'm already getting eczema all over my face. I need another non steroid treatment for eczema.

I know a lot of those "natural" cures just don't work. I apply Eucerin to my skin but that isn't helping the eczema. Suggestions?

hey...
I have eczema too and i use advantan cream, which is a seroid. but a pretty good cream is epimax. it really works and its fragrance free so it doesnt cause any irritation

Hi-
My daughter has suffered with eczema over the years and what I don't like about steroid creams is how it turns the skin white and thins the skin. There are many natural alternatives available but the one I find most effective is an organic shea butter and soy body balm with therapeutic grade essentials orange oil in it. Other people have also stated that it helps to heal up dry patches as well.

Have you tried protopic. It's a prescription med but no steroid.

have you tried changing your diet? It may be something that is triggering a reaction.

I haven't had insurance and have been suffering from eczema (inside of my arms, random patches on my leg) for the past year now. Finally I've found something that's actually been working for me: DERMAREST Eczema Medicated lotion. I found it at CVS for $10 and have been slathering it on my arms every chance I get for the past week. They have gotten smoother, the redness is GONE, and so is the itchiness.

I decided to get it after reading the reviews about it on drugstore.com. Check it out here, it's worth a shot: Buy Dermarest Eczema Medicated Lotion Online at drugstore.com

On top of that, drink more water and stay away from perfumey lotions/soaps.

I also have eczema. I've had it since I was a kid. It comes and goes. I am a big health nut and am always trying to improve my healthy eating habits because of allergies and just because I want to feel and look good. So with that said my eczema has been the most stubborn thing to get rid of. We all have heard by now that the Omega 3's and 6 are good for us in fish oils. I recently started taking Carlson Cod live oil and the eczema on my eyelids and chest has improved quite a bit. I do notice that when I start to eat sugary foods it starts to return. So I'm sorry to say that you really have to try and stay away from eating white refined sugar!! I'm a chocolate fiend so it's a struggle. I also upped my water intake to the required 6 to 8 glasses and my skin looks dewier. I also was given a cream from my acupuncturist that has helped tremendously with the itching cause God knows scratching the eczema makes it worse. All of these things together have helped provide some balance and kept me away from steroids which I refuse to put in my body. I'm 47 and my skin looks amazing for an old gal.

has anyone tried Cerva Cream for their eczema? My Derma Dr. has me using a steriod cream but I'm not crazy about the lack of feeling my skin has now from using it. I also noticed that if I stop the steriod the eczema flares up. I have patches of eczema on my eyelides, jawline and hairline.

Try NOXZEMA it was originally invented for eczema....look at the name No xzema....makes sense....when I get bad flare ups ..I soak my hands in an oatmeal bath then put noxzema on just like a lotion ...dont wash it off...hope this helps..its a better alternative to steroids

socialkittn

can you be more specific to which noxzema product? I thought they only made face washes...

I went back to dermarest and it cleared it up on my arms in a few days

It might sounds weird but sun screen works for me.
