My skin(mostly my cheeks) are bright red and some spots under my eye are purple. My skin is extremely stiff, shiny, and scaley. I also Have severe flakiness next to my lips (lips are extremely chapped too)
Every skin softener product I put on stings like heck 0_o
-I put on a oatmeal mask on the night before….had honey and yogurt in it.

My son is scratching himself to death. I have tried everything from hydrocortisone, oatmeal baths, lubriderm creams etc. I do not have medical insurance and cannot afford another trip to the doctor just for them to prescribe hydrocortisone cream that works for a few days and then he has another flare up.

I was diagnosed w/ eczema about 2 years ago. It seems to get worse at certain times of the year, Fall and winter usually. I have not had a problem all summer long and all of a sudden I’m itching like crazy and breaking out again, what on earth causes eczema? I put on lotion w/ collidal oatmeal twice a day and it isn’t helping for now. Anything to help it?

My sister(23) has had eczema all her life. It completely covers her legs. She used to get regular cortizone shots, but there not good for your body after years of treatments. Oatmeal doesn’t work anymore. Most creams/lotions just help with the dryness but not the itching. Anyone know of natural treatments that might help?
