A good treatment for my eczema, that's normally caused by food allergies or atmospheric allergies, is using a good basic moisturiser, real, real basic. Try and stay away from soaps, anything that has soap on it, and prednisone is really good for clearing your skin up, but I find once I stop taking it, it breaks out again and I can't be on it long term, but it's really good. Antihistamines don't really help my skin, only prednisone does.

For me, the thing that gets rid of it the fastest is hydrocortisone. So if I have like a big breakout of something somewhere, like if it's held to one place and you can easily apply hydrocortisone, like right on the kind of like deep breakout spot, um, that works really well. And then you can kind of like come off of hydrocortisone as it gets better than just manage it with like lotion and stuff. But hydrocortisone just like letting it sit. If you're watching a TV show, I mean like if you have a bad eczema spot on my wrist and you put some hydrocortisone down on it, just like let it sit there for the hour or so that you're watching that show. And you'll see a difference in like one to two days.

If I was gonna have to put one name on something it would have been the Hydrofor which comes in a big tub and you can buy it by bulk and it looks like Vaseline in a Vaseline container but it is not the same consistency. It's almost an emollient where it kind of melts into your skin and that that extra little bit of I guess oil that goes into your skin helps you just go oh I feel so much better. Right now at this moment I'm using a lavender oil from doTERRA and I use that in the evenings and that's very helpful too. The Anisol HC-1 hydrocortisone 1 which is an anti-age product. I've also used anti-age products that come in a cream tube that have oatmeal in them or I should say ground oatmeal. Oatmeal has this ability within itself to calm the flare-up. You know you just find the one that works for you and you just stick with it.
