Homeopathic/home remedies for eczema?


Posted: Aug 8, 2011

I have a few spots of eczema that have flared up and are itching and flaking like crazy.  Obivously can't afford a trip to the doctor.  Anyone here have any good old-fashioned home remedies to relieve the itch that actually work? I've heard everything from crushed aspirin dissolved in water and applied with cotton balls to milk-soaked cotton balls applied to the area but before trying any of these, thought I'd run it thru this forum first.  TIA!

Has an eczema lotion (about $10) that helped my son somewhat. Ultimately he needed a prescription, but we could get these spots early.

Eucerin lotion mixed Aquaphor? - mthead

[ In Reply To ..]
Both of my boys had eczema when they were younger. The pediatricians advised using Cetaphil for washing and then applying a mixture of Eucerin lotion mixed with Aquaphor. That helped quite a bit but we sometimes had to resort to hydrocortisone cream for the itching.

Curel advanced ceramide therapy, Cerave - itchy

[ In Reply To ..]
anything with ceramides. Cerave is the moisturizer many dermatologists are now suggesting along with an expensive prescription of ___ (the name escapes me, it starts with a T and it is a barrier cream). I found both the Cerave cream and lotion to be too drying even tho it is supposed to moisturize. The Cerave cleanser is more moisturizing than the moisturizer. Curel has a lot of products but I found the Ultra Healing cream to be the best for me, but I have dishydrotic eczema. Cetaphil was drying for me as well, and the newer one I found to be comedogenic. I also found that using a poison ivy remedy under the Curel took care of the itch IvAresst is the one I'm using.

Anyone Have Any Home Remedies To Help RelaxNov 06, 2012
Sorry, but this may be lengthy.  I will try and keep it short. I am a relatively calm person.  Tonight an incident happened and I am thrown so out of whack.  DH was out in the front yard and a suspicious character walked by then stood hovering around the trees in front of our next door neighbors house.  He was there quite a while, but then when DH looked back he was gone, so thought the guy moved on.  We called the neighbor to tell them about it and we said we'd ke ...

Any Home Remedies For Getting Rid Of Green Stuff GrowingFeb 29, 2012

Has Anyone Ever Taken A Homeopathic Medicine For Depression?Apr 14, 2011
I've tried several of the traditional medications for depression - Prozac, Effexor, and Zoloft.  They work for a while, I had some side effects, but then they stopped working and the depression came back every time.  I've heard more cons than pros about St. John's Wort, so I'm not sure I want to go that route, but would like to hear from anyone else who has tried the homeopathic route and got good results (or bad, so I know what to stay away from!) Thank ...

Eczema - What To Do To Relieve It?Apr 19, 2012
For the past couple of months, due to job stress, financial stress, and family issues, I've started developing eczema on the insides of my elbows, and now even have it on my face, on both temples.  It itches like a son-of-a-gun!  And it keeps popping up in new places. So far I haven't found any cream, corticosteroid, or lotion that helps much, other than to keep it a little less dry.  Have any of you with eczema been able to relieve it or even cure it with any product, ...

What On Earth Can I Do To Heal The EczemaMar 26, 2011
I have eczema (so I am told) so badly on my hands, especially the palms, and now has appeared on the tops of my feet and lower legs. It is so itchy that I rip my hands to bleeding while I sleep and it is so bad that even typing now hurts.  The dermatologist gave me a cream that made it worse, I went back and he told me to use it 2 times a day and give it more time, and I did that, and it is so bad now that I want to cut my darn hands off. If anyone knows anything that will help, or knows ...

only to find none at all on the shelves.  "WTF?" I'm thinking.  Maybe I had somehow ended up in the Twilight Zone. At the 6th store I went to, I asked what the deal was with Excedrin.  Where was it? Nobody knew or could give me an answer.  So I come home and type "Excedrin" into Google, and was shocked to learn that it's been recalled! (Along with 2 other, can't-do-without staples, No-Doz and Gas-X). Apparently it was recalled a month ago (something about t ...

Several family members while in nursing homes have been approached by religious "Zealouts" trying to push the "right faith" by staff or so-called "visitors" on them. I am so sick of it! My Dad was presented with a Bible of different faith at 81 and dying. Now another member at 85 in failure was presented with 3 different "faiths" by the "staff" and I am enraged. Being asked questions by 85-YO as to what is "B'hai" and what is "Spiritualism." I am so sick of it. Keep your Bible(s) off their ...
