I have Eczema. It itches like hell. It's genetic and runs in families. Eczema starts in a rash like way with small blisters that oozes a flay type wax, and this also builds the skin up over time. The more you scratch the more it grows and can become infected. Right nowit's on the back of my neck and the "collar. This is because I'm in Texas and it's hot. I have had in the crooks of my arms and back of the knees. It's been bad behind my ears in the crease, and even in my belly button. Although some folsk say there are cosmetic creams that will help with eczema, the only thing that works for me is steroid creams. Nothing else works. Here's somthign that can provide relief. Wash the area with anti bacterial soap, scub off the flakes/crust. Dry area, with a cotton ball, clean the area with alcohol. You can now apply a oil mix of tea tree and lavender oil. Now cover with neosporin ointment (suppresses the crust and anti-bacterial). Now, if you can, bandage the area or wear a clean cotton garment. But honestly, you need steroid cream to put it in remission, not cortisone cream. Non prescription cortisone cream doesn't do jack shit. Eczema is in your code. You are going to live with it all your life. You cannot cure it. You can send it in remission.
This is what works for me. I don't mess around and I go right to http://eczema.org/corticosteroids. it's really the only think that works. Good luck. Eczema sucks. I still remember getting yelled at as a kid for scratching all the time. Hint to parents- if your kid is scratching ALOT because the itching is INTENSE, get the kid checked out because you can't yell the itching away and your kid is miserable.
