Do any of you have Eczema or had experience with it?

Question

I have pretty severe eczema on my hand... It's horrible. I feel like everyone who sees it and doesn't know me as a person judges me, like it's contagious, (which it's not) and disgusting. I know it's disgusting, and extremely embarrassing... I literally try to hide my hand from people. 
I've tried so many creams, the only one that's really soothed it, yet sometimes burns, is the California Baby Company Eczema cream, I've used it for a good year and it sometimes helps it go away some, but never ever completely, it's not extremely cheap, but it's affordable and lasts a long time. 
And I just started using Derma-aced Deep Therapy Cream, which is pretty pricy, but it seems to be getting rid of some of the eczema... Slowly.

I know eczema is caused by food allergies, (mainly), stress and some genetic factors as well. I'm worried that I may have to cut gluten, dairy and eggs out of my diet, which equals like my entire diet... 😰

What have you tried to get rid of it, that's actually worked?

Answer

I have the same problem on my hands it is embrassing. Im always keeping my arms folded or my hands in my pockets. My last "flare up" I drove my happy butt to CVS and picked up the Aveeno bath stuff and the cvs brand anti itch cream made a paste from the aveeno kept it on for about an hour gently wiped it off put the cream on til my hands stopped buring. Then smoothered my hands in neosporin wrapped it and went to sleep. Repeated on and off every other day. It cleared up in 2 weeks. I have done this for 10 years with success. Maybe itll work for you.

Answer

Talk to your doctor. There are lots of prescription creams and ointments out there for eczema, and they aren't very expensive. I am on an ointment called Clobetasol Propionate and it has worked wonders for me. It costs me about $10 per tube and the tube lasts me at least a year. I get it seasonally on my feet, ankles, and knees. It usually starts in the winter when the air is dry, but if I don't take care of it right away, it spreads and lasts into the summer, which means I don't go swimming even when it's 90 degrees out. Your doctor will either prescribe you medicine themself or will refer you to a dermatologist. Either way, it is definitely worth it!

Answer

I used to have it behind both my ears really bad. I put cortisone cream on them twice a day basically keeping them moist 24\7. Now it is gone, but does try to come back every once in a while and i just use cortisone again and it goes away.

Answer

Try African Black Soap and Gold Bond Extra Strength Body Lotion Triple Action Relief For Extra Dry and Itchy Skin. That is what I have been using for mine and it has been working great for my eczema!
