My skin is SO dry that I get these awful rashes on the inside of my elbows and the back of my knees. They feel like sandpaper. Lotions just make it burn. What should I do?

Question

Answer

That is definitely excema. I have it too and it burns constantly. I hate it. I've yet to find anything that doesn't sting at all (including calamine, cereve, lubiderm and several other medicated lotions), but I find my favorite, strangely, to be Peter Thomas Roth mega rich body lotion. It's really gentle, smells nice, and actually doesn't irritate my skin/ make my rashes worse! Honestly, it's better than any lotion my doctor has ever prescribed for me. Also, try to limit sun exposure. For me, being out in the sun makes it worse.

Answer

My son has eczema. Soap and lotions dry his skin out really bad. We limit the  amount of soap, we used none when it was really bad and bleeding like that. And we gave him prescription strength hydrocortisone cream.

I have eczema and use the Aveno product with colloidal oatmeal. It soothes any burning or itching quickly and heals it nicely.

Calamine lotion, it doesn't sting or hurt and helps relieve itching

Coconut oil!

Answer

That is most definitely eczema babe. I've had the same thing my whole life. Inside of my elbows, back of my knees, up my thighs and all over my neck. Stay away from scented lotions. Soak in a oatmeal bath anytime it gets too bad. You can buy a box of single use packets almost anywhere. Your best bet for relief is getting a steroid cream prescribed to you by a doctor. Thats the only thing that has constantly cured my eczema. Also using cetaphil lotion at least twice a day, when you wake up and before you go to sleep will help soooo much. I really hope this helps!! I feel your pain girl. Also stay up on your water intake!!! Hydrated skin is healthy skin!!
