What have you done to make it go away? Any natural remedies? Any information at all would help.

I have a cousin with it. She's in a clinical trial. Her dad had it so bad it spread to his eyes (Which I didn't know could happen), and he's blind. But my cousin isn't that bad. She was very happy to be in a new trial. I'm always curious about new products. I think Gold Bond has a lotion out specifically for eczema. Some brand does, and I think it's Gold Bond.

I am so sorry to hear this. I read that if you get it, you can get asthma, too. That really frightens me. I will have to look for the Gold Bond. I am going to the doctor on Thursday.

One of my friends has eczema as well as her son. The thing she does to keep it from flaring up is to go tanning. In the winter she uses the tanning beds and the summer is spent outside on the lawn or at the beach. She uses baby oil to lubricate herself. She says it keeps her eczema from flaring up. It works for her but it might not be for everyone. You can try it though.
