try cetaphil lotion.my dermatologist recommended that for me when I was first diagnosed with eczema 4 years ago and continue to use it.and if you buy the lotion,you might as well buy the Cetaphil body soap as well.another product is Eucerin.it's a great calming lotion for dry itchy skin and is good for eczema.use it daily.and you should see results.other products are aveeno products like the Aveeno calming cream that comes in a little tube.it works great.take care and goodluck.Is there an over the counter eczema cream?
Its not marketed for eczema, but I think cetaplil cream is the best.Is there an over the counter eczema cream?
Elidel is by prescription, but it really knocks eczema out! Sometimes you can get a discount from the pharmaceutical company.
My daugher has Eczema the doctor told us to get aveeno lotion for during the day for dry spots or itching. After her bath which is every other day I rub her from head to toe with eucrin lotion. This stuff is pretty thick and dosent rub in real well so I put it on at bedtime. She also takes a over the counter allergy med. every day at bed time. If the Eczema is so bad it is weepy and red then you need a perscription steroid cream. So far the aveeno and eucrin is working great.
Try Hydro-Cortizone It helps. It's not like any of the RX strenth meds of course. But it helps with the itching. Also, try oatmeal bathes. They are really soothing for the itching. I know it sounds wierd, but it works.
