    I have really bad excema everywhere and i mean every where. I find the best skin care products to use on my skin are those contaning german chamomile. It cures the itch and the excema dissapears generally within a day. If i cant find a product that contains germain chamomile i buy an off the shelf excema cream or dry skin formula and mix the german chamomile essential oil with it and this also works a treat. I am glad to hear iam not the only one tht suffers with excema. I hope this helps!!!
    take care xoxoxo

    Any cortisone cream over the counter works great.

    i have extreme excema brought on my touching things im allergic to such as certain lotions or creams.

    here are some trick i have found over the years to help it.

    sea salt soaks, help dry the rash out

    also wash the area with antibacterial soap 3 times a day, for some reason this keeps it from getting worse.

    Eucerin lotions and creams are a godsend they are the only lotions i can use, along with burts bees products.

    hope this helps!

    the prescription cream i get is generic and is only 15 dollars for a large tube of it. works much better then any otc meds.

    ^^ What kind do you get Emily?

    Ive been using this homeopathic cream called Florasone. It helps keep the moisture in while great for depuffing the rash. I think I need something stronger though to stop reoccuring ones.

    5 mgs. seems like an awfully low dose for Omega 3...sure you don't mean 500?
