It's winter again, and I'm drying up. This time my face is under attack
What do you all with excema use to help out?

Re: Does anyone has excema??????
I have it all over the back of my hands - it's so bad my skin cracks and I can't wear jewelery. I feel like I have tried everything and nothing works long term. I seem to have the best results from Lidex. It's hard being on my hands because I can only put medicine on them at night.
For me, I think the NY water causes it because when I go away so does the excema. I have it all the time and it's just drier now with the colder weather.

I used to have it.. thanks to those hot showers.. I used eucerin.. my dermo told me to use cream, not lotion.. and to try and steer clear from hot showers..

I have eczema... I feel your pain! I use cetophil (soap). I also take Flax seed oil (1 to 2 tbsp) to help the outbreaks. The only real good thing that works are the cortisone creams but I hate using them
DH just started getting it on his hands. His is really bad - they look like tiny blisters.
I have to get some eucerin!

I don't have excema, but when my face gets a little dry in the winter, I use Ponds cream. It really makes my face look rich and not dry.

My Dermotologist prescribed a steroid ointment that worked for me.

Valentinegirl - what's the name of it? Mine doesn't work as well since I have been using it for so long.

It called clobetol ointment I think.
