1. That's harsh.

My son has the problem and nothing works. Don't scratch!

[Deja Q]

3. I've been scratching already.

I'll try not to. :(

Sorry your son's got it. :hug:

4. Try rubbing instead of scratching.

And a hug right back to you. :hug: :pals: :hug:

2. I'm sorry HT!

My oldest daughter has eczema too. It gets really bad sometimes and makes her miserable.
I always wish I knew how to cure it! Do you have any Protopic cream? That's what she usually ends up having to use - it's a prescription
steroid cream.

I feel for you sweetie! hang in there! :hug:

5. 'fraid not...

I've got every other type of creme, right down to max. strength prescription steroid cream.

Nothing works, so I live and try not to let scratch.

On the plus side, if there's a person I'm not keen on dating, I'll tell him or her "I've got an eczema outbreak right now" and that really scares them. :evilgrin:

But, alas, there's little I can think of... :(

8. Try neem. I take capsules and use the soap. I'll warn you that the oil smells a bit like garlic

and sulfur so soaps that have a high % of the oil can smell awful if they don't also include some lavender oil, etc. to mask the odor. Anyway, neem really works well for me.
