For medication, hydrocortizone cream 1% over the counter (higher % can have horrible effects causing redness/rash to get worse, it happened to me, awful!). I also take evening primrose oil, flaxseed pills, and fish oil. 2 pills a day for each except 3 for EPO. I have it on my face, too, but it's gotten much better. I also no longer eat any seasonings, Mex. food, pizza, spag sauce, & apples. This has helped a LOT and I can't eat those foods at ALL. Let me know if this helps. Also, I wash w/ aveeno oatmeal soap, it is the best and doesn't irritate my skin at ALL.

I am a 35 yr old guy who has been dealing with this stuff my whole life.... You will see lots on this site..Mostly good suggestions but some people are on here just to sell products.. I wish I could tell you a magical treatment, but I know of none.. From what I have seen, eczema has come from lots of different sources and you have to come up with a treatment for you specifically... I can tell you what I have done but that might not help you and your situation..... To start off with I have food and enviromental allergices. I use to be on Claritin. This was probably the one med that helped my skin the best. I took it for allergies, but it inadvertly cleared up my skin... I took this for several years but I couldn't handle the side effects... Stress is yet another important factor with skin. <!--more--> Regarding lotions, they just seem to make my skin itch more and dry it out even further... When I do put on a mosturizer, I use olive oil right after a shower and that seems to help... I take oatmeal baths when my skin gets really itchy as well.. I know my water (well) is very harsh and is probably drying out my skin and irrating it as well... For me, what I eat also has a part in my eczema. I had a blood test and this showed me all the things I was allergic to... Anyways, you have to look at your total pic in order to see how to treat your eczema. Are you swimming alot? are you on well water? are you using soap? and are you stressed about something? all might have a role in your eczema.... Pray for the best...

If you think you should see somebody or get on antidepressents, I think that is something you should do. NOthing is worse than feeling so sad and upset all the time - and I'm sure that doesn't help your skin. Have you talked with a doctor at all about how sad you are feeling?
