Any ideas for eczema? Have recently gotten it on my feet and it's AWFUL!?!
Question:
most creams seem to work short time and then stop. Willing to try just about anything.
Answers:
Most of these seem to just be addressing dry skin.
I've found that a clay mask applied to the eczema and let dry keeps the eczema from re-occurring anytime soon.
I've heard that this could be an indicator of Vit. B-12 deficiency, so you might also try a supplement.
Other Answers:
dont use anything but Cetaphyl lotions, heavy cream, and soap on your feet. Baby oil and some socks works well too.

Try NOXEMA, you can get it over the counter at any drug store.
Try this please. Bag balm, sock, go to bed. Int he morning, bathe as usual. That night do it again. Seven days later tell me if you still have it. Bet you don't. Oh get new shoes too.
here's the best thing that has worked on my son and he's got it pretty severely. we took him to a dermatologist and gave up on the creams and medicines as well but we kept to a pretty strict bath routine. We soak him in water and only shampoo his hair once a week or so. we don't use any other soap on him. then when he's out of the tub, we put a light layer of vasoline on him and immediately clothe him in long sleeves and pants to keep his skin moisturized. we don't rub him dry, we only pat him dry. for your feet you could give them a bit of an extra soak when you are out of the tub in some kind of basin with just warm water. exfoliate using a wash cloth by wetting the washcloth and rubbing it over your feet. then pat them dry, put a thin layer of vasoline or some petrolium jelly and put on socks immediately. take something with an antihistamine to help you with itching, but only take it at night and only an hour before bedtime. simply because at night itching gets worse and you don't want to overmedicate your body. Good luck and lemme know how this helps!
Try hydracortizone cream(not spelled right), it works for me, it cleared up in 2 days, but only use a small amount. Good luck!
Renew skin lotion from Melaleuca if it is stright eczema. It took care of my sons eczema in 4 days. A few years back it took care of my psorasis also. One other thing have you taken a look at the laundry products you are using. My sons eczema started in the hospital we figured due to the laundry detergent they were using. There is more to the story but I do not want to write a book. If you need more info please feel free to e-mail me.
