Common Questions and Answers about Eczema relief treatment
eczema
In most cases of eczema no one treatment will be effective. Medical research shows that the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes(prevention of triggers and application of lots of moisturizers) to control flare-ups. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
I was diagnosed with eczema but the treatment does not help. I develop itchy, dry rashes mainly on the inner thighs with patches on the forehead. Eventually these rashes get dry and scaly and won't stop peeling and when they heal there is a lack of pigment in the area which lasts for months. I was recently in India and treated with medtronidazole for a parasite which cleared up the rashes for about 6 months but now it is back worse than ever. Any ideas?
The symptoms described indicate eczema as a likely condition. Since you have a family history of eczema, you should consult a dermatologist for the exact diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause. Sometimes tests of allergy panel or skin biopsy are conducted to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options include topical corticosteroids.
What is the best treatment for vaginal Eczema. I have this for years now, it comes and goes. I use Calendula gel when I have symptoms, it seems to help but not completely. Is there something that I can use that is more effective. It is very uncomfortable. Burning sensation, etc. I had a biopsy done a few years ago and results came back (SPONGIOTIC DERMATITIS) which I been told is like ECZEMA.
Can you please help or have any comments regarding this condition.

The only thing I know that clears eczema or dermatitis is cortisone. I also notice that chlorinated water irritates my eczema on my legs so I installed a water filter. And 2 years ago... maybe due to menopause ? ... I stopped wearing most earrings that were less than 18K Gold but even some of those have nickel - which I've found I'm allergic to. It doesn't cause eczema but it itches my face, neck and throat like crazy!
good luck.. hope something helps!

com/products/eczema-therapy-itch-relief-balm You can buy it online or in a lot of retailers and drug stores. The article has a lot of options for treatment though. Check it out. But for me, lightly dabbing a towel to the area after a shower and applying the balm prevents it from happening. Hope that helps!
ve noticed is that he is beginning to grow hair down there. He showers all the time also, I guess he gets some relief from the itchiness this way also. Is there any type of cream or medication I can buy him, since this is a very sensitive area.
Thank You again for your support.
initially i got relief from the solution n after a few months the doctor suggested to stop using the solution and perscribed clotrimazole powder.
i was prescribed ketecozole tablets also but i was getting stomach pain from it. so the doctor stopped that.
however over the years the itching again n again resurfaced. for a small period of time i used butenafine cream also.but the cream is totally ineffective.
now i have to daily use the zole-F solution otherwise the itching starts.

Hi
When topical corticosteroids do not provide relief, sometimes more the doctor may consider prescribing some more potent corticosteroids for some period, in adults with may be needed for adults with eczema on the scalp, limbs, and trunk or those with chronic/ lichenified eczema. Newer two topical eczema drugs like pimecrolimus (Elidel Cream) and tacrolimus (Protopic Ointment) are reserved only for cases where corticosteroids have not been effective.
