Eczema Treatment
What happens if I have eczema?
If the diagnosis is eczema, the dermatologist will explain what type of eczema you have and prescribe an appropriate treatment plan.
Before prescribing a treatment plan, a dermatologist considers the type of eczema, extent and severity of the eczema, patient’s medical history, and a number of other factors. Medication and other therapies will be prescribed as needed to:
Control itching
Reduce skin inflammation
Clear infection
Loosen and remove scaly lesions
Reduce new lesions
It is important to realize that in most cases no one treatment will be effective. Medical research continues to show that the most effective treatment plan for eczema — regardless of type — involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes to control flare-ups. Doing so tends to increase effectiveness and reduce side effects from medications.
The type of medication prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type of eczema, past treatment, and the patient’s preference. Topical (applied to the skin) medication is frequently prescribed. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication may be prescribed.
Today, there are many effective therapies available to treat the different types of eczema. With proper treatment, most eczema can be controlled.
Keep in mind that eczema can be stubborn. If the signs and symptoms persist, be sure to tell your dermatologist. Sometimes it helps to change how you use the medications or to set aside more time for relaxing activities. Stress triggers flare-ups in many people. Others find relief with stronger medication. Keeping a diary to learn what triggers the eczema and avoiding these triggers helps others. A dermatologist can work with you to tailor a treatment plan that meets your needs.
the best home remedy for exceama is to garlic. Crush one clove of garlic apply to the effected area and leave that there for some times then wash with plain or warm water. repeat this several times a day until you get rid of this.
Maybe you need a little moisture. Being too dry is not good. Maybe in between would be good.
Eczema is caused by a lack of Linoleic Acid in the body. Linoleic Acid is an essential fatty acid found in high amounts in Linseed Oil and Evening Primrose oil.
Taking capsules from a health food shop will help.
For topical treatment I recommend Pure Aloe Vera Gel applied to the affected area 2-3 times daily.
Keep it dry, do not touch or rub over it, this aggravates the problem. If you use a MEDICINAL SKIN cream, it will work. Cleansing with salt water, also works wonders (like swimming in the sea). You can also dab lemon juice onto the affected parts.

I started getting it about 6 months ago and get it really bad around my mouth when i dont shave for a couple of days.
My son has some hydrocortizone creme called Locoid something or other and that works a treat. Daktarin Gold also helped a bit.
hi,
we cleared my sons excema,by splashing cool water on his face instead of washing it,then we used to put mallow cream on the red areas,it can be bought very cheaply in any health store,good luck
i used to have ecxema but once i started using this cream it showed startling results and now am completley eczema-free!
try www.purepotions.co.uk and buy some skin salve to use when feeling inflamed but they also sell bath oils to help soothe the skin. give it a go! Good luck
Having had eczema since birth I can promise you there is no cure! I should also point out that having a bit on either side of the nose is a very mild form, and stressing about it as you are is likely to have made it a little worse.
Do you wear glasses? If you do then it's likely to be contact dermatitis by the sound of it. You could solve the problem there by changing the way the glasses fit on your nose (are they too tight?) or changing the material.
Aside from that, I have found over 30yrs of experience that vaseline is the most cost effective control of my eczema. Applying little and often being the trick. There are hundreds of other creams and oitments...but you need to see your GP again if the vaseline doesn't work, as each works slightly differently.some are for when you wash, some are steroid creams (although these aren't at all good for the skin on your face...and can give you catarracts if the cream is used for long periods near the eyes)
Should add..very importantly. If you have eczema then do not use soap! Use a milder wash solution, and only use this once or twice a day. I generally avoid most chemicals except for special occasions!
As of now, there is still no cure for eczema.
However, you can manage it.

...keeping the skin well hydrated through the application of creams (with a low water and high oil content) as well as avoiding overbathing is an important step in treatment.
you can buy dead sea salt from health shops. Its really good and completely clears it up in no time. I've used it and it also worked a treat on my niece who is 2 and was covered in eczma from head to toe. Best of luck...
E45 cream might help to soothe the dryness. You should go back to your GP who could try you on some different creams.
My son used a cream called Aveeno when he had eczema and that helped a lot. It was on prescription only, but I think you might be able to buy it over the counter now. Its a little bit expensive, but it does work.
In the first place you don't cure eczema, you treat it. Have you ever been tested for allergies, I suggest that, there's maybe something in your diet that's creating this. It could be something your wearing all the time.
I would really forget the garlic unless you get a feeling that you want to bite someone.
The only thing you can do is go to the doctor and get some creame with steroids in it.
Also, the more sun you get the better off you will be.
