Eczema Help

[Poohforyou]

I just want to warn about aveeno products. I don't have eczema but do have very sensitive skin on my face. I decided to try aveeno when I couldn't find my usual cream. I broke out in a horrible rash. I looked carefully at the ingredients and there's mushroom extract in it. I HATE mushrooms and wonder if that's because I have an allergy.

Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that. I use vanicream face cream and love it.

Good luck.

I know this post is a few months old but I too suffer from Eczema. Right now I have it on my fingers and hands and they itch like crazy! I use my prescribed ointment and I love it. A tip that I think is very important is to avoid hot water as much as possible. Hot water irritates Eczema so using warm water is much better for it.

DD was having terrible break outs no matter what we tried then several years ago her dermatologist recommended castile soap with warm showers/baths every day for no longer than 5/10 minutes and using baby wash clothes , immediately followed by moisturizing with coconut oil mixed with a few drops of vitamin e. We noticed a big difference right away. She still gets flare ups but not near as bad as before and goes longer periods of time between flares.

I recommend the Dr. Bronners baby mild soap. It cost me about $13 a bottle but it's concentrated and a little goes a long way. There are a few other scents but I highly recommend that you stay away from the Peppermint, it's harsher than the other scents and actually caused DD to break out .
