Which creams for eczema have you used and worked best for you?

my son has really bad eczema on his wrists, and inside of his elbows. I've been using euvamate and diprobase emollient cream. When i take breaks from using euvamate (because long exposure to steroid creams are bad for the skin) the eczema comes back with a vengeance! and the diprobase does nothing on its own. Also the second it comes back, my son keeps scratching it sometimes making it infecting.

Have any of you used creams that keep it away longer or do i have to keep doing what i'm doing?

    Hi, you can try one of the natural treatments for eczema from the Internet – some of them do work. For my eczema I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and they stay clear for months on end.

    Try it: champori comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn't work for you - it's free.

    I have a mild case of eczema but it gets worse in the winter but I use Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion. You have to put it on everyday after a shower because the hot water drys out your skin. Also make sure your daughter doesnt take extremely hot showers because it is not good for eczema. But Aveeno has worked the best for me, just make sure to use it after showers and when the skin is feeling dry.

    What worked for our child was Salcura Dermaspray. It comes in Gentle and Intensive formula.

    We used the Salcura Dermaspray Gentle formula for babies. Salcura worked in seconds to stop the itching. The inflamed skin subsided about 50% in just 24 hours. Whether or not you'll have the same results I don't know, but for our child it was 10 times better than everything else we tried. Salcura is a British product.

    Not only was it super effective for our little one, but it leaves not visible residue, it absorbs into the skin in about 1 minute. We sprayed about 4-6 sprays per ankle and wrist and really got it into our child's skin. Weeks later he was totally healed up and we reduced the frequency to spray his skin from 3 times a day down to less than once per day. We permanently removed the bandages we had on our child from his wrists and ankles the first day we used it. We had to previously bandage him to prevent him from itching till he bled.

    Salcura offers a free sample pack if you're not sure about it. Shipping is all you pay. Also, if you buy it from at least the main website they'll guarantee it. We bought from expresschemist:co:uk however and got a better price there. You may find it elsewhere for less.

    I have eczema and dermatitis. I found that California Baby works really well. It is gentle enough to moisturize the skin without being irritating. Also, I have to be very careful with the soap I am using, some soaps make my dermatitis flare like crazy.

    You may also want to check for allergies. I found out that I was allergic to dairy. When I do not drink milk or dairy products, my eczema and dermatitis is not as bad.

    Persistant eczema in infants usually indicates an allergy. Have you tried to track down what he might be allergic to? If you can do that, it should solve the problem.

    If you've not been able to find the culprit, then steroid creams are really the only option for significant eczema. (Moisterizers can be soothing, but don't treat the underlying problem.)

    In curing eczema, one must bear in mind that the main goal is to stop skin itchiness that may worsen the irritations. Thus, there is a need to use mild cleansers, soaps, and lotions to clean the skin and relieve it from those irritating and itchy symptoms. It is advised that you consult a dermatologist or a physician in order to get prescriptions or recommendations of cleansers that are ideal to use for eczema-infected skin. Eczema lotions are also available. Cold compresses can also help alleviate the itchiness. You must also remember to resist the urge to scratch the infected area, so you don't make the condition even worse.

    I strongly recommend this natural remedy. It really worked for me. Here is the website: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=556
