Has anyone had a significant eczema problem, and then permanently controlled it?

Like where it would break out in a very annoying way regularly in certain places, but now something you've done or used has prevented this from happening again for an extended period of time (years)?

I tried everything on the market; expensive prescription creams and ointments to oatmeal baths to honey to cider vinegar but finally I tried Eucerin Healing Ointment and I applied it twice daily and the eczema patches finally went away but after more than 12 years of no flare ups my eczema has returned so I'm going to use the healing ointment again.

Eczema is an auto immune issue so there's nothing that'll get rid of it permanently but it's best if you avoid heavily scented soaps and lotions too. I have to use Oil of Olay white bar soap, I can't use body washes or smelly good lotions. Gain Hawaiian Alohà and Tide Spring Renewal is all the laundry soaps I can use. It's hard but try to eliminate things that irritate your skin.

I use dove... doesn't seem to matter that much.

I have some kinda of itching problem which some how has to do with my allergies but I go to a dermatologist every month for 'allergy shots' and i've been going for about 5-6 years and i'm so confused on what exactly I have.

You can use either cortisoid creams or protopic which is a lot more expensive - use the second if the first doesn't work. Hydrocortisone is the first line of defense. You can get stronger ones with prescription

For natural remedies not really sure...

Nothing I use permanently gets rid of it. I mean temporarily, and then soon after I stop using it.. boom.

[TripleAce]

You can't actually permanently get rid of it, that's not possibe because it's a reaction to your body attacking itself... particularly the skin cells underneath. Autoimmune issues. There is currently no cure for that

It can only be controlled... that's the problemo here

In the words of Anakin Skywalker...
It's not fair :(

Yeah, i had it really bad, it used to happen every summer and it was the worst. I stopped getting it though

[Mustachekitteh]

Nope.
