Natural Remedy for Eczema

I agree with Brysing- you should consult a dermatologist; and check you aren't allergic to anything. Make sure any skincare products that you use are for sensitive skin. Also, a lot of people with eczema can over wash their hands, which just inflames them more.

As far as natural remedies go, try mixing a paste of honey, beeswax (optional but recommended), a little bit of oil, aloe vera, chamomile, calendula and oats.

You might want to read through the article on alternative therapies for eczema put out by the Eczema Foundation. http://nationaleczema.org/eczema/treatment/alternative-therapies/

If you choose to explore herbal remedies I would not do so without consulting with either a certified herbalist or a certified practitioner of Chinese medicine.

Have you tried apple cider vinegar? From bugbites, to psoriasis, to eczema, it's usually very effective. I would personally dilute it 50/50 with distilled water and use it as a compress for 5 minutes or so. But my husband pours it straight on his psoriasis outbreaks and then pats it dry with a towel.

You can also add unrefined virgin coconut oil to your diet.

Thanks, Brysing, but I have seen a dermatologist. I've been going to a dermatologist and and allergist since I was around 12, so roughly 10 years. That's how I got ahold of the prescriptions I mentioned in my original post. I also am well aware of what I'm allergic to, and it's nothing that goes on my hands. Eczema is also heredity, and that's why I have it. Everyone in my family has it. It just so happens that all the remedies they've used, don't do anything for my case. My dermatologist just happens to be running out of ideas, so that was why I was hoping to find some other options that maybe I haven't tried just yet.

I'll look into that site as well, Lark. Though, from the brief skim I just took of it, it's looks like I've attempted most of their treatment options as well.

Thank you all for your help. =).

I second the apple cider vinegar and coconut oil suggestions. They work wonders!

Thanks. I'll try that for sure. =]
