Eczema

[Vkers]

Are there any natural remedies for eczema or specific lotions for daily usage?

Hi, sorry meant this for Vkers,
for when no flare ups (and maybe then also-haven't got there yet), I'm finding that
a good blend of lavendar oil w/Emu oil and castor oil are feeling very good, also
a calndula cream is good too.

Hello,
For eczema,wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).

Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.

If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
