 things were going ok, until i had some blockage issues, got that taken care of. My ezcema has flared up something bad on my boob ( right on the nip OUCH) and forhead( so i feel like something out of star trek) and today i woke up and my eye is swollen. REALLY?? COME ON!  Today is one of those days where I want to just fall on my knees and cry out WHY!!!!!!!!( i am sure my family would think i am rather wacked if i did that..lol)

On the good note, it's beautiful outside.( but me looking like a mutant i won't be leaving my house!!!)

Any ways to sooth the ezcema?? I've tried many many things but so far nothing seems to mellow it out.  OK i am going to go pout now.

I use epsom salt in a warm bath or tanning oil and sit in the sun for a few mins each day for my Daughter Both help her alot.

I had eczema for years and years, only on my L. ring finger. It completely disappeared when I started probiotics in 2008ish. Never came back.

I've heard a temporary elimination diet (wheat/dairy/sugar) could also help.

I know of no medical cure and little treatment, other than cortisone cream, which is what I used to use.

Good luck.

Off to the dr's i go... :(
I have to put gauze over top so it doesn' t rub any where. I am on a hugely limited diet to begin with, no dairy( very little)no whole wheat.I know there is no cure for it as with our DD but something to mellow it out would be nice.

Have you tried Spectro cream? It's available OTC, and seems to work very well.
