Any quick cures for eczema?

[Anonymous]

Hi! I've got really bad eczema on my legs and arms! has an one got any home remedies?

I guess avoid over washing the area and don't use any soaps or that kind of thing on it. But better to just go to a doctor or pharmacy and get the right cream or ointment and antihistamines if required, especially if it is as you say "really bad" because it tends to get worse. Is there any new soap or substance you started using on your legs before the eczema appeared?

no the way I got exma on my legs was because it spread from my arms:( I use steroid creams that the doctors give but it will just come back!:(

Maybe change over anything you use to wash or apply to your body with alternative products just in case that's contributing. Has your doctor given you an allergy test? Has he given you any orally administered medication like tablets? Also, if it really is bad, maybe ask to see a dermatologist.

thanks!:) and I use shower gell that the doctures gave me! and they won't let me have an allergy test:L

But most doctors will naturally give you an allergy test to see if it's something around you that could be causing it. Are you potentially in danger by taking an allergy test, did they give you a reason? Otherwise maybe ask another doctor.

Hydrogen peroxide will stop the itching, but working out will take away the stress that probably is the real because of it.

Don't over wash it. The lotion called Cetaphil will help a lot as well. You want to relax and try to relieve your stress. Salt baths will help the itch if its really bad but I suggest you try to avoid that since it might make it spread more. But you really need steroid cream and/or antibiotic pills. Try to get to your doctor asap.

Last I knew there was no cure for excema, not even a prescription. A doctor can give you something that will make it more bearable though

Stress usually doesn't help to get rid of exma so become stress free and ask a doctor for a cream most suitable for you!
