Anybody dealing with eczema? What triggers it? Any special soaps or lotions you recommend? Or dietary recommendation? Any info is very much appreciated. 4951
I have had it since I can remember , I use all fragrance free soaps & lotions , stay away from anything that contains wool , so all my sweaters are 100% cotton . Cortizone anti-itch cream is good & helps & I also use corn starch to help dry it up . Summertime is the worse for me , it clears up during the winter months . But once in a while I will get a break out in the bends of my arms or back of my knees , then I use corn starch & like I said it dries it up & it goes away . 4951
A friend of ours recommended Burt's Bees hand lotion for my son. It works better than any other non-prescription things we've tried. He likes the honey scent too. Good luck! Eczema sucks. 4951
