Tell ya what. I noticed a patch of ringworm on my left shoulder..my back( I know that is a fungus like Jock Itch and Athletes Foot) I looked and looked for an anti fungal body wash so I could get some form of medication on that area on a regular basis. Know what…I could not find one. I asked my pharmacist if there was one and she said that the active ingredient in the dandruff shampoo Nizoral (ketoconazole 1%) was also antifungal….google the ingredient, please.

I started using Nizoral as a body wash and my ringworm cleared up but also the antibacterial properties of ketoconazole began to clear up other minor skin issues..like flaky patches and general dryness.

So I do not have eczema but as a redhead who spent far too much time in the sun in my reckless youth, this Nizoral stuff helped me. I also noticed that if I used one of those scrubby type things rather than a wash cloth, that seemed to exfoliate better and made my skin look better generally.

Might be worth a try…..OH, I tried not to completely rinse the Nizoral off my ringwormy shoulder.

As a plan B……..try liquid Tea Tree Oil Soap

Good Luck

Hi, you can try one of the natural treatments available on the internet (just google "natural treatment of eczema") – some of them do work. For my eczema I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and then they stay clear for months on end.
Try it: Champori comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn’t work - it’s free.
Cheers,

I’ve had terrible eczema on my legs my whole life, and there are two creams I have used that are unlike all the others.

One is exorex , but I wouldn’t recommend it considering it’s mustard smell & $100.00 price for a tube.

Then, the other is Triamcinolone Acetonide. Personally, for me it works great. Better then anything else in fact. I’ve tried everything and using this for a week or so clears it up really well. But then of course comes the scars that are left in it’s wake, and for that, I use (it sounds crazy but) vaseline cream, baby oil, vitamin E capsules AND a regular unscented lotion. In a couple weeks, my eczema looks soo much better.

Hope it helps(:

The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and milk products which trigger my flare-ups.
After using number of prescription drugs I’ve turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use herbal remedies from serenaskin.com, which aim at the root of the disease - the immune system, and are steroid-free.
After about 2 weeks of using ointment and spray my skin has been cleared up and now I just continue with anti-eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My skin has been clear for months now.
It is the only treatment I have found that provides me complete relief when I use it as directed.
