KiKi asked:


My 15 month old son has patches of eczema on his arms near his elbows and his upper thighs. I have been using Aveeno baby wash, Aveeno baby lotion and Aquaphor ointment. When the patches look really irritated, I put prescription hydrocortisone on it. They look like they clear up for a few days then it flairs up again. Is there any thing more I can be doing?

jadestar217 asked:


My chest area is covered in dry round patches while my stomach is covered in red bumps. My eczema always flares up during pregnancy and stress. Now I know the best cure is Petrolatum but I really don’t want to feel like a sticky, greasy, ball of goop. Is there something else that’ll work? My sister recommended Cetaphil while there’s rave reviews about Aquaphor. Which works best? Is there something else that works better?

After an inflammation of eczema, i used cortisone cream with only .05 mg of cortisone per dosage. After about a week in a half it was gone but these whit dots appeared. How do I make them go back to the normal tan color? (It wasn’t caused by sun because i didn’t really go outside that much before i got it).
On my right forearm

karenhoney asked:


I have chronic eczema, and I have found nothing that really helps it, at least not long term. It is an extremely dry, extremely itchy red rash, and no matter what my doctor’s try, nothing seems to last. I use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly as a moisturizer. I use prescription strength Lidex cream. I use Prednisone when it gets too bad, and I haven’t found anything to use which is helpful for the itch. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have had this condition for about 4 years now. I’ve gone to 3 different dermatologists and they all prescribed me creams which made it go away but then it just came back,

What can I do? It just keeps itching every 3-4 days and it turns really reddish and swells up. I think the doctors called it atopic eczema.

Amber asked:


I’m 19 years old and have had eczema since I was roughly 15. It started just on my stomach cause of the belts I wore, and then on my arms, but that was nothing until this past year. I have it bad on my arms, stomach, half my back, upper thighs, chest, and neck. And I am also half hispanic, so I scar very easily. They aren’t raised scars or anything, but just dark marks. And they stay, for years. Lotions for dry skin don’t work, I know that. But even if I do control my eczema, the scars from it will last for a long time. Can anyone relate and possibly know any way to help me with my scars, or eczema? I’m running out of options! I feel like a leper here!
