Could be an allergy to milk proteins
Leslie in Springfield, PA -
Eczema may be a result of an intolerance/allergy to milk proteins. My 10 year old son just had a routine allergy screening. We found that he is allergic to milk proteins. Consequently, he has been drinking milk his whole life! He always drinks skim, in which there are less of these eczema worsening proteins. So, for those of you who have eczema, try eliminating dairy from your diet. I am not allergic to milk. But I do prefer rice milk because cow's milk contains casein protein which can be a rapid cataylist for cancer production. You can read "The China Study" for extensive information on casein protein among many other commin foods in the American diet. You will be surprised!

Olive Oil added to diet worked for me.
Dave Jablonski in Central NJ -Rx Cortisone didn't help. I'm a 71 year old male who got hit with ecxema about 10 months ago. Earl Mindells vitamin book said more fat is needed in the diet and to try olive oil or other vegitable oil. I started taking 4 table spoons of (regular) olive daily and the itching eased up and then stopped and now after 4 weeks the scaly red spots are fading away. Also, rubbing it on the skin relieves the itching.

FINALLY-Something that actually works...
Cathy in Connecticut -This is VERY Simple. Make a Paste of Olive Oil, and Corn Starch. Mix until thick enough to apply. This is perfect for getting rid of the rash that goes along with Excema, softens the skin, and ends the constant scratching. Simply apply as you would any other cream. No cortisone, No bull...

Tanning
Anonymous in Chicago -I found over the summer sitting in the sun helps clear my eczema. It's not the best treatment out there because you can get skin cancer from too much sun exposure. I would tan for 1 - 2 hours a week or so and within that week my eczema would disappear. It's not so easy in the winter in the Midwest but the eczema doesn't seem to bother me in the winter. But in general UV rays are good for getting rid of eczema. I heard dermatologists use UV ray guns sometimes on patients who have eczema.

Bee Rescued Balm
Marco in Suprise, AZ -We've tried all kinds of stuff on my son's eczema and the doctors have also done their best. It was really bad. He had it on his face, neck and arms. Finally he tried some of my Bee Rescued Balm that I buy for my cold sores and after a few days, he noticed that his skin was healing. Now, three weeks into treatment with the stuff he is really looking great and feeling great!

Oatmeal
Michelle in Lincoln, NE -I put regular uncooked oatmeal in my bath water. It helps with the pain, itching, redness, and inflamation. Also, it makes your skin AND hair super soft and silky. I love this method because it is so cheap- many grocery stores sell it in bulk for a fraction of the price of canisters, even the off brand.

Going at it from all angles
Lucie in London, UK -I have had eczema all my life, severe, to gone and back again. Whenever it comes up sticking to the below always removes or improves my condition depending on how bad it is at the time.....
1) Green Tea is my life savor, it cools my skin and body from the inside. I drink it constantly all day with water. 5-10 cups a day. As mostly the skin bubbles with heat anything cooling the agrivation helps.
2) Pear juice in particular cools the skin.
3) A flannel rubbed with moisturizer (Vaseline / you usual eczema cream, not steriods!), put in the frezzer put on a very Red & itcy area will immediately help.
4) I strictly avoid citrus friuts (take vitamin C to replace), Red friuts, all wheat & dairy products, spicy food, chilli, anything too sugary, food with colouring, ketchup, sweets, coke, alcohol etc.
5) I bathe in dead sea salt, with a non scented bath oil frequently to avoid infection.
6) Avoid dust mites: Clean! Everything, use mattress covers, bed sheet covers, you can kill dust mites by frezzing. (A teddy bear/pillow/blanket).
7) Moisturize!! From the inside and out. So take oil suppliments, EPO is my fave, but also use flaxseed / starflower / GLA etc mix it up so you get a good cover.
8) Most of the time for me, it's because I'm stressed/tired/burning the candle/been ill with colds and flu, so just take care of yourself.
9) Use only unscented skin friendly products for everything. Non bio washing powder.
10) Eat lots of oily foods, fish, nuts, and avocados, as well as superfoods for immune boosting.
I really hope this helps someone, Eczema at any stage is hideous! If anything can ease it, it's worth trying.
Good luck

Raw Honey
Paul Q. in Macon, MO, USA -I have had outbreaks of eczema on my hands for the last 5 years. After finding that the tacrolimus ointment prescribed by my dermatologist was losing effectiveness (and concerned about adverse effects from its long-term use), I decided to experiment with alternative remedies. One of the best ones I have tried is raw honey. I simply apply it sparingly and as needed to the affected skin; it often clears up the outbreak in short order. Honey has antibacterial properties which can help prevent infection. It is helpful also in speeding the healing of minor cuts and wounds.
