Any over the counter treatments for eczema that works well?

I have an annual deductible that I never meet. My doctor charges $80 for a basic visit, even just to have a medication renewed. I don't feel that a 1 inch eczema spot is worth this expense to me.Any over the counter treatments for eczema that works well?
Ideally you should apply a topical steroid (to control a flare) from your doctor for the prescribed time, and then switch to an EMOLLIENT (to prevent flares and heal skin) for as long as your skin desires.





However, DRINKING MORE WATER and Original Eucerin will stop your Eczema if you apply it 2-3 times daily, allowing it to soak in. If you find yourself rubbing the spot during sleep, etc, try putting a soft cotton bandage over a fresh application of Eucerin before you sleep, by morning you'll see a noticable difference, guarenteed! Take short showers and avoid abrasive material, soap, i.e. things that dry the skin!Any over the counter treatments for eczema that works well?
Combining organic eczema treatments with herbal treatments is a win-win situation. For example, the use of pasteurized cream is very soothing to the skin. In the chemical world, it is what is known as a base and bases are excellent for neutralizing the effects of diseased skin. If you suffer from eczema, you already know that soothing relief is the one thing you want the most.
Try using a natural soap for washing. Something with olive oil in it for instance. You can moisturise your skin with natural almond oil bought from the pharmacy. Almond is nearest in it's constitution to the natural oils in the human skin. My sister used it for her little boy when he had patches of eczema and found it to be very good. Keep away from anything with perfumes or colourings. Natural products are less irritant.
Yes. I too have terrible bouts of eczema on my palms and thumb ends. I have to start by saying this IS NOT A JOKE. You'll think it is but it's not.


It's called Bag Balm. It's a salve for chapped bovine teats. It relieves the splits and is anti-biotic. You can buy it at the link below.


It costs 1/3 of the expensive eczema salve (like Eurcine) that don't work.
