Common Questions and Answers about Eczema relief bath

eczema

My 4yr old daughter has had eczema since she was 6 months old. I'm so frustrated at how I can do very little to help her. As soon as I think I have controlled it she'll flare up with no rhyme or reason. I'm hoping to find some relief for her on this site. We've tried so many different things, that I'm losing hope. She's going to be starting Kindergarten at a French full immersion school next year and I can't imagine how she's going to be able to concentrate while feeling that itch all day.

She had eczema patches as well. Also, do not bathe him every day, that drys out the skin. We never needed anything stronger than the cortizone, so no prescriptions. She is almost 4 and doesn't get it any more. It is also pretty common starting around this time of year. You should call and make sure to talk to his ped or nurse before using anything, even over the counter cortizone. If you do use it, be careful not to use it too much.

Recently talking with someone, I came to the idea that it would be nice to hear from others who have eczema and what things they do or have done (with and without success) for their treatments. So, what have other people done to help alleviate symptoms of eczema (perhaps cure?). What have you done that did NOT work for your particular case. Realizing that eczema medications don't always work for everyone and those that don't work for some work for others....

Hi! I am a 28 year old with severe eczema, diagnosed back in 2001 (as an adult, never had this as a child, just severe allergies). I was on elidel, protopic back then and my ecemza was mild. In 2004 I started getting worse and started allergy shots. This helped for awhile. I then moved to GA in 2006 and my eczema has gone crazy!!

So we have to keep baths to a minimum and just sponge bathe her for the most part. I have noticed certain foods seem to make it worse, so we avoid food triggers. Also, when she gets a lot of drool on her skin it makes it worse, I'm sure your daughter is no longer teething and drooling, but I'm thinking the water on the skin irritates it. Our doctor perscribed a skin ointment that has mild steroids in it, to use when it gets really red and itchy.

Basicly a couple of cups of quick oats in a warm (not hot) bath. Hope you get some relief soon.

My fiance' (22yr male) had his first bout of itching in Kuwait while he was in the military. After much trial and error the doctors diagnosed him with eczema and prescribed a long term course of topical steroids. The eczema has always been localized to scars and a few other places and seasonal (with winter). Two weeks ago he broke out in an incredible rash covering his torso, thighs and now nearly everywhere.

I've been on prednisone a couple times, and it cleared, then comes back when I'm not on it. Don't know if it's bad eczema or something else. Went to two allergists who can't relate it to any allergic reactions. Been to a dermatologist who says it's just atopic dermatitis and gave me some corisone cream, which really doesn't help. Anybody going through a similar experience?

She immediately diagnosed it as eczema but didn't say what type. I think it's nummular dermatitis from the pictures I've attached. She gave me a shot, an antibiotic prescription (Cephalexin) for my swollen legs and feet and an ointment prescription (Clobetasol). Plus she told me to take warm baths 3x weekly with 2 TBS bleach in the water. Plus put on Aveeno Eczema cream over top the Clobetasol 2x daily. I also purchased a whole house humidifier to keep the humidity at 40-45%.

2 yr old caucasian female with extensive body rash that has slowly, progressively worsened over the past year. Pediatrician diagnosed as eczema, and prescribed pediatric eczema cream. Cream had no effect, no over-the-counter creams have offered much relief. Rash began on trunk area, has spread to arms and legs. Neck, face, head area not affected. Red, splotchy, slightly raised, eventually covering entire trunk so the skin feels coarse, rough like sandpaper.

i also have eczema breakouts in other parts of my body but ive been using Aveeno soothing bath treatments and its been working, it relieves my itching and the eczema is disappearing, you can put it in your bath water or if your not taking a bath at the time and need some relief you can make a paste out of it and rub it on the skin that way....just pour the aveeno powder in the palm of your hand and damp it with water making the paste as thick as you like....

But hes got some skin issues going on and I feel bad. He has always had dry skin (contractor) but now its crazy. He has eczema all over his hands, and he is rubbing and itching all the time. His ankles seem to be itchy as well. He is using creams, I bought the Cetaphil cream(I think Jim reccommended that at one point) and the soap and doc gave him hydrocortisone cream but not sure if there is something else he can do. The itching actually disrupts his sleep. Any thoughts out there?

Hello I have 2 patchesof Eczema on my right cheek by my jawline that will not heal no matter what. When they aren't small open wounds, my skin is discolored. I seem to be scratching it in my sleep. Because I leave it alone during the day. Every morning I wake up to a new surprise. Did I scratch it or not? I put cotton gloves on my hands at night, but I just wake up with blood on them.

Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms. Light therapy using ultraviolet light can help control eczema. UVA is mostly used, but UVB and Narrow Band UVB are also used. Ultraviolet light exposure carries its own risks, particularly eventual skin cancer from exposure. The first and primary recommendation is that people suffering from eczema shouldn't use detergents of any kind on their skin unless absolutely necessary.

after a while i thought it must be some form of eczema. my mom had giving me a book on remedies and cures, it had relief for psoriasis. which said it was "itchy redness of the skin". the article suggested using a "vitamin d3 cream". this cream had better results after 8 weeks of use than with a corticosteroid cream. this vitamin d cream is available by prescription under the name dovonex. which went on to say not to be confused with vitamin a and d ointment.

I was told by specialist that hydrotherapy was good for eczema which is trying to keep the skin wet. and after a bath use vasoline it helps some.

I know what it is like to get into a bath, KNOWING you aren't supposed to and it will only make you worse in another day or two. If the relief you are feeling is from the warm bath (it does temporaily help) then try taking just a tepid bath, with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil...lie there and float and let the oil coat you...this will help with hydration provided you don't stay in too long. Also, take one benydry tablet before your bath, and then get cozy in bed when you get out.

Hi, Im on my second ped immunoloy specialist and he is at the end of his rope now with ideas to help my 4 yo son. Where would the best place be to take my son with severe eczema and food allergies? He is on prednisone and atarax now with minimal improvement. I live in Southern Cal, but willing to go wherever I can get the best help. He has a rash all over his body and bleeding wounds all over both hands and feet for three months straight now.

When my husband was a young child he found relief from eczema that covered his legs, in the ocean beach of Hawaii. He thinks it was in Waikiki but was too little to know. It was suggested by a local native Hawaiian. I hope it can cure that baby too. My new doctor today told me to use rubbing alcohol and vinegar in equal parts to rinse my ears to prevent the cycle after the ear infection heals. This will clean and remove moisture without over drying the skin. Hope it works...

I have taken 1 anti-fungal pill on several occasions only to provide short term relief. Then the curd-like discharge comes back and the only relief I get is a topical cream much like Vagasil, only generic.It will help for a half hour or so, then I am back to square one. I have recently looked at myself with a mirror after feeling some bumps and have only discovered bleeding sores. I'm blind without my glasses and blind with them-wow ! Has old age hit me!

seasonal allergies, eczema induced by dry/cold weather and barometric pressure changes, flushing rosacea, and ocular rosacea. This is what I do to alleviate symptoms. Keep in mind that these are chronic conditions and I can't "make them go away". Rather, I can treat the symptoms of the conditions and try to manage my outbreaks as much as possible. My treatment depends on the day. Thank God yesterday I had a day where I was about 95% symptom-free. That was AMAZING.

Well not asap like its like threating but so she can get some relief (you too). Have you tried oatmeal baths??? As ladybugbib said, aquaphor, aveno and cortizone work great but sounds like she may need a steriod cream. If its nice outside the sun also helps with eczema. At least it does with DH. He has horrible eczma on his feet and ankles. His sister sent him a homemade mix for him to use and it works miricles! I have used it on Daltons rash before and it just dissappears!
