excema

Jump to newest

I've had a tiny patch of excema on my ankle for a while now, but it's spreading and I've got patches on my knees.

Can anyone recommend anything, I've tried Diprobase and Aqueous creams, plus had a steroid cream from the doctors, but none seem to of any real help.

I would be very grateful for any help with this as I'm getting paranoid about it and it's started to affect my confidence, thanks.

Try the Nivea for men sensitive skin moisturiser. 'reduces skin sensitivity over time', white tube with navy writing. Made the eczema almost disappear overnight. Can be used on other skin conditions too. Worth a try.

I have Dermovate from the GP. It works brilliantly

Try a sun bed course see if that helps.

E45 cream keeps your skin moist, it wont cure it, but it stops the itchiness and masks the dry look of the skin.

Hope it helps

Oilatum for baths. Warm not hot. Dry off and cool down before any creams put on. You can wash with aquaeous cream. Avoid anything scented.

50/50 doc prescribed - careful its flammable

Or betnavate - pretty much the same as 50/50. Only need a thin layer as it feels greasy

50/50 and betnavate are parraffin based. And worked far better than any 'moisturiser' prescribed. My daughter suffered head to toe as a baby and was cracking and bleeding. It is very much trial and error finding one which suits

Beeswax which is base for most of these creams which have been mentioned, it will sot it out in time

It's all about management....

Some people have outbreaks caused by stress, get whatever is the source sorted out. Food allergy?

As for the skin, keep up with the steroid, or see Dr and try a stronger one

Moisturise like mad, dont use E45 it can make it worse. Diprobase is nice cream, but there are thicker ointments you can try like Epaderm but you need to specify the ointment as they do a cream also. Try different things and see what works for you. Also try an antihistamine such as loritadine for the itch. Lots of the suggestions already made are good too such as oilatum.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

My niece's is caused by dairy, and when she gave up milk and cheese her (appalling) eczema vanished. Always worth checking all possible causes.

I like E45 cream, as a palliative that eases the soreness, if I get it- usually when the winter comes.

You can also enjoy an oat bath, which should ease things too - some say that it cures it for them. Whilst you won't be bathing in porridge, in its normal sense, you can use oats contained in an old stocking or clean muslin, and run under the water/soak. Take it every day for a week or so and see how it is. Nice and easy and cheap too.

There are lots of good creams as people have stated but also you need to keep well hydrated by drinking lots of water, if your body isn't hydrated it will show on your skin, but don't let it affect your confidence eczema is very common issue. Keep well moisturised and drink lots of water and it will clear

I think it is more seeing what works for other people. There is nothing wrong with that

Thanks for that. I'm sure I'd read a while ago about someone suffering but couldn't find it.

Thanks to everyone for the tips on both medication and diet. I will try the dairy tip as I do eat quite a lot.

Like others say it's probably going to be trial and error. Also a big thanks to a couple of people who have privately messaged, it's much appreciated.

Vitamin E oil capsules. Not only take them but burst with a pin and apply the oil to scaly patches. You can buy bottles of the oil but the capsules work well and are easier to get.

Consider adding lavender and tea tree oils to your bath too.

My son has eczema, when we cut out cow milk and switched to goat milk his eczema stopped getting worse and had cleared up a month later.

Some of the advice above is good, but sometimes with skin conditions, less is better. No hot baths, no perfumed products, and no synthetic fibres touching the worst areas. Boots sell big tubs of plain aqueous cream which is good for washing as well as moisturising, but don't forget to clean your shower base/bath thoroughly as these products make the surfaces ultra-slippery.

Aqueous cream should never be used as a moisturiser. It can cause dermatitis. A doctor with a degree in dermatology told me that. It's an alternative to soap for bathing
