I have really bad eczema on my hand where it cracks and bleeds...any home remedies or over the counter creams?

only things that WORK please...I have really bad eczema on my hand where it cracks and bleeds...any home remedies or over the counter creams?
take vaseline or any other brand petroleum jelly (i assume most people have that in their cabinet, and if not, it's very cheap), Eucerin... Aveeno actually has a cheap, natural cream that I love (i have it on my arms). Basically anything unscented or natural will do...





Apply it liberally, and wear cotton gloves overnight. It should help heal you within a few days, and you'll have to maintain it by doing it every few days once it's under control.





Make sure you dry your hands really well when you wash them, and avoid scented soaps. Washing dishes always made my forearms flare up if i set them on the side of the sink as i did it, so you should probably wear rubber gloves when you do things like that.





Good luck... those are the best home remedies i've tried. The stuff the dermatoligist gave me actually burned when i put it on... the aveeno was my best bet. (Eucerin stung a little but did the job.)I have really bad eczema on my hand where it cracks and bleeds...any home remedies or over the counter creams?
Try using neosporin, if that doesn't work, i guss you could put a liitle alchohol on a q-tip, if that doesn't work I would go see a doctor.Also try hydrcortizone.
This is gonna sound weird but you can use the stuff that farmers use on cow udders to keep them soft and free from cracks. There is something called Bag balm or something like that my father-in-law uses....and it works great!
you can put veg. oil on them and cover them with a sandwich bag. Let them soak like this for a while. Repeat as needed.
There is a product called Healz-Plus.


It works wonders on skin conditions.

have you tried using dove unscented bar soap only use this it will help. But aveeno lotion non scented use that also hydracortizone cream 1% you can get this over the counter. All of these things helped my son. If you have your hands in water a lot wear gloves or if you bake a lot it could be the yeast that is making it worse.
Hi, I highly recommend the anti-eczema cream from http://www.champori.com It is herbal (free of steroids) and works fast.


Best,

E45 cream is very good, apply on going to bed and put on a pair of Cotton gloves so that the cream is absorbed in to the skin. They also do a wash which will stop your hands drying out.
I use a generic 1% hydrocotisone cream (cheaper than buying name brands like Cortaid). I use it until the burnign goes away, usually a couple of days. My hands will still be red, but the spots are dry, so I keep them moisurized with lotion. For this, it's better to use a petroleum-based lotion as opposed to the usual water-based lotions since the skin is so dry. Through the winter, you need to keep your hands mousturized to prevent this and keep away from any allergens that you may be aware of. Be sure to COMPLETELY rinse away soap (use the mildest possible, like Dial) when washing your hands and dry them completely to help keep this down. Good luck!
