Does anyone suffer from eczema? I suffer badly and at the minute I could cry have you found anything works?

I'd love to know this too, have never suffered from it before an all of a sudden my hands are covered it whats like tiny water blisters that pop an turn in to a red dry eczema rash an it's so so painful! I've been plastering my hands with E 45 and sudacream (sp?) and it's not helped! Think I'm going to have to go to the doctors! Xxxxx
I have been to the doctors a number of times and its always a steroid cream and double base I'm given. The steroid cream works wonders but once I stop using it after a week or two it's back again. I said to the doctor about seeing a dermatologist but she said it was as simple as that
I have had this for years but only started on the legs as an itch (dryness) but now it's spread everywhere and I hate coming into good weather cause I'm covered in scars from scratching. Just wondered if anyone actually found something that keeps it away. I also heard about goats milk but don't think I could face drinking it, can you get goats milk as a moisturiser or anything?
Anything is better than steroid creams! xx
Very true. Using steroid creams too much or in heavy doses can make the skin fragile and thin. If there are other alternatives such as goat's milk products, I would say it's worth trying. It's also worth avoiding certain products when you know you're eczema-prone as those products will just trigger it. Label reading is a must when picking out a suitable skincare products. Creams and ointments are better than lotions. Use mild cleansers instead of harsh soaps. Fragrant-free is probably the better choice over fragrant. Avoid hot showers and baths as those dry out the skin. Ranges like Oilatum, Eucerin, Cetaphil, Aquaphor, and Aveeno are worth looking into.
My daughter has it it was so bad I was in tears. I was told by a herbal place to go and buy cheap porridge oats. Put some in the foot if a pair of tights or similar. Tie on to hot tap of bath. All this creamy stuff goes in water works wonders. And use olive oil with a couple of drops of lavender oil and bathe area with a cotton pad. Both made a huge difference to her and now gets rid of any flare ups really quickly.xx
