Avatar n tn It burns and itches and I have had it for two weeks. I have tried over the counter creams and corn starch. The area is raw in some places. I have not had intercourse in over a year. The only thing that I found at home to work was and old perscription for triamcinolone acetonide cream.
Avatar n tn My eczema is stubborn - it is constantly reappearing, causing me to use the Elocon far too often than I should be, but because it is so effective, I use it over and over. Is there something I can buy over the counter that actually works? My eczema is the kind that cracks, blisters, weeps, etc...it is not just red and irritated skin! Please help! There must be something out there that I can use with no long term negative effects!!!

Avatar f tn About the only thing I have to offer is an over the counter product I like. I heard about it from a dermatologist doing a radio show on eczema and bought some. I do love it and makes a huge difference for me. It's an Aveeno product called Eczema Therapy itch relief balm. It was not the cheapest at 17 dollars for an 11 oz tub but it lasts. It definitely helped me with itchy skin problems. Bought it at Walgreens but am sure other pharmacies and food centers sell it.

Avatar n tn So please get an examination done by a surgeon/dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. Till that time, try an over-the-counter (OTC) cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone (Cortaid, Preparation H),but it is to be applied sparingly to the affected area. A protective ointment that contains zinc oxide (Desitin, Balmex) also may help. If your symptoms are worse at night, please take an antihistamine like Benadryl to reduce itching until topical treatments take effect. Hope it helps.
