What’s a good remedy for eczema?
July 9th, 2010 | 
Author: My partner has eczema on his face, hands and the inside of his elbows. He’s tried a lot of creams and shiit but nothing has seemed to work. He went to the dermatologist the other day and she basically said she had no idea. It’s really itchy and sore and it gets red and dry. Has anybody else had this or any thing similar to this? and if so how do you get rid of it???
My cousin’s daughter has eczema on her elbows, legs, and cheeks, as well as the tops of her hands and wrists. She has had it ever since she was a baby and the only things that seem to have worked well for her are Calamine lotion (sorry, it’s a cream) or an oatmeal bath. She also uses an oil-based soap that is unscented and my cousin is very careful to make sure her skin does not get dried out. Basically make sure he isn’t using harsh soaps, scented soaps, chemicals that could dry his skin out or things that could irritate his skin. It’s also a good idea to make sure he applies a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30, especially with the summer season.
One thing you and your partner should keep in mind, is that everyone’s skin type is different and not everyone’s skin will work the same. What may work for most people, may not work for him. My best advice would be to find out more about the disease and try to make changes to accommodate eczema. Here is a good starting point for him ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eczema ) along with having him check with OTHER doctors/dermatologists and trusted online medical sources such as WebMD
Good Luck to you and your partner. Hope I helped!

Hydroval cream really works although he has to put it on atleast 2-3 times a day. it stops the itching almost instantly and the eczema will be gone withint a few days completely. i know you said he is sick of the creams, but hydroval really works.

Natural treatment works the best for me. I’ve used serenaskin eczema remedies, they cleared my skin with no side effects and extract keeps eczema under control. It is the only treatment for me that really helps.

When topical corticosteroids are not effective, the doctor may prescribe a systemic corticosteroid, which is taken by mouth or injected instead of being applied directly to the skin. An example of a commonly prescribed corticosteroid is prednisone. The side effects of systemic corticosteroids can include skin damage, thinned or weakened bones, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, infections, and cataracts.
In adults, drugs that suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporine, methotrexate, or azathioprine, may be prescribed to treat severe cases of eczema that have failed to respond to other forms of therapy. These drugs block the production of some immune cells and curb the action of others. The side effects of drugs like cyclosporine can include high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, kidney problems, headaches, tingling or numbness, and a possible increased risk of cancer and infections. There is also a risk of relapse after the drug is stopped. Because of their toxic side effects, systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs are used only in severe cases and then for as short a period of time as possible.
Natural and holistic treatments are a safer, gentler alternative to use without the harmful side effects or allergic reactions.
Best of all, you can use them as often as you like, for as long as you like. Herbal ingredients such as Vitamin E oil, Mentha pipererita oil, Bulbinella frutescens tr. and Aloe ferox tr. work quickly to soothe and promote healthy, trouble free skin. Other highly effective herbs include Glycorrhiza glabra, Melia azadirachta, Sambucus nigra and Stellaria media which help to provide relief from itching and discomfort and reduce eczema patches. In addition, Matricaria chamomilla, Asparathus linearis and Galium aparine also prevents infection and inflammation as well as reduces scarring.
Remedies like Cleavers, red clover, biochemic tissue salts like Natrium Muriaticum, Kalium Muriaticum, Kalium Sulphate maintain lymphatic functioning; support skin health, functioning, and membranes of cells in the skin; promote healthy cell renewal and routine shedding of old skin cells; maintain the body’s water balance, keeping the skin fresh and hydrated; cleanse and purify the system, thereby promoting skin integrity; & support lymphatic functioning and support the skin’s ability to purify itself.
