Why does my eczema only itch at night?
I've had eczema for a few years, but it seems to have calmed down now. It never itches in the day time, but every night I wake uo and it itches like crazy. Does anyone know why that is? It seems strange that it only itches at night.

I've suffered from eczema on and off with varying degrees of severity since i was a small child. I've noticed that it gets extremely itchy at night and i think it's because your body and skin get warmer under the doona or blankets.
A doctor recently told me when issuing me with a prescription for eczema cream, that keeping hydrated form the inside by drinking lots of water really does help get rid of eczema as well as dry lips, skin etc. Well i tried it and seriously by drinking room temperature water my eczema improved greatly and then disappeared. I wish i'd known such a simple remedy years ago. Of course us eczema sufferers still need our cream on hand as well.

Just a thought - are you sure this is the same thing as the eczema? Moisturising is great for dry skin, but can make other problems worse. I had a similar itching leg problem, which would wake me in the middle of the night, feeling as though I had fire ants all over my legs. It went on for half a year and has only just cleared up over the last month. The doctor gave me moisturisers and steroids, neither of which worked. The only thing that stopped it for me is antihistamine, which I take twice weekly now (I took them more regularly at first). Some antihistamines also help you sleep, which is great if the itching is waking you, as it did with me. I had no obvious allergy (they tested me) but antihistamines still work for the legs. A lot of this sort of problem has to do with how your capillaries are behaving, so I'm guessing antihistamines calm them in some way, when rubbing moisturiser in only aggravates (in these cases). Some of them can make you sleep through the alarm in the morning, though, particularly Phenergen (prescription only). Surrounded by so much good advice on what to do if it definitely is eczema, I hope this might have helped in the event that it's not. Good luck with it:)

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

Professors Predicted I Would Never Cure My Eczema. But Contrarily to their Prediction, I Cured Eczema Easily, Permanently & In Just 3 Days! I'll Show You How...”
Blotchy red skin
Scaly patches with oozing
Incredible itching that keeps coming back
Skin that would heal and then break out again
Not only that, but after days of trying these simple changes, my son told me:
.He felt like he had more energy to run and play at school.
.He was doing better in class without being distracted by annoying itching.
.He was calmer, more carefree and funny - just like a child should be!
.He made friends more easily and felt happier overall because people weren't staring because of his "disease".
I noticed that trying these changes myself added some more benefits that, at my age, I thought I'd never experience again:
. Greater vitality and energy throughout the day (no more caffeine crashes!)
. Softer, smoother skin - and an end to that dreaded winter itch!
. Better digestion and less of a feeling of "bloating" and fatigue.

Most likely cause?, your body relaxes, and heats up in bed!, having a shower, or bath, then getting straight into bed, can make it worse!...
