Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 My sister and daughter both have excema, my sister's is pretty mild now, she used to crack and bleed as a kid. Back then she just used Vaseline, now she uses Curel. For my daughter, who is scaly, we use Eucerin year round, plus cortisone in the winter. You can get the Eucerin at a pharmacy (I got ours at Kroger) without a scrip. HTH! -----Original Message----- From: gvizjazz@... [mailto:gvizjazz@...] Does anyone out there know anything about ecxema and what is effective to treat it?I have tried creams and ointments and nothing is helping to relieve the constant skin flare ups. I am having a series of patch tests done soon to find what it is that I am so allergic to. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 We've found that breaking open a Vitamin E gelcap and rubbing it onto the problem area clears it up quicker. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
