Question:

What is the best kind of daily lotion to use if you have eczema?


Answers:

only match4you is likely mistaken, and obviously disillusioned with medicine. Eczema is an allergy. Most of the time it is unknown what the person is allergic to, but they often have hayfever and food allergies as well, sometimes asthma. Doctors will prescribe steroid creams if needed for severe cases, but most of the time not oral steroids. You should only use the cream long enough to get it under control. As for daily lotion, I have had good luck with anything by Aveeno. The skin relief formula is great for contolling the itch without drugs. Dermatologists recommend applying lotion within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower or bath, when the skin can absorb it easily. I have even applied it when I was still wet and then towelling off, and it still works. Do not use hot water in your shower, that will aggravate the itching, lukewarm or cool is best.
