Kids carry so much bacteria it isn’t funny. They won’t wash their hands before eating unless you tell them they have to. My cousin will go right from playing on the grass to grabbing grapes out of the fridge. So I am sure she’d scratch her rash too like that without thinking.

my question is, I have been to the hospital many times because i couldn’t take the pain from eczema, i am guilty because i scratched till it bled and i couldn’t sleep, my skin would essentially leak during the night as well, i cant afford to be paying every two weeks for prescribed treatment, is there any other none over the counter treatment that will help this go away? or is steroid creams my only option here…

Eczema is a very itchy disease. what i do is use sulfur soap when cleaning the affected area of the skin and take some anti-histamine if the itchiness is severe.

Scratching an itch seems to be what the body really wants. Itchy skin eczema is hard to resist because it keeps itching and itching if you don’t scratch it. I will try cold compresses on rash. I have discipline from karate but this is hard to control.

My niece scratched the eczema rash and also caught impetigo infection from kids at school. It was a true mess. She’s allergic to eggs and takes kid vitamins and is better. Her mom cut her nails so she didn’t scratch the itch as much .

For rashing and itching you have to distract yourself. If you concentrate on it you will probably scratch it. You have to know it’s not how to get rid of excema but will make it worse. A good way to stop itching skin is to swim in cold water.

This is so true. Our son has suffered since he was a baby from Eczema and the scratch and itch cycle is awful! It seems to be worse at night more than any other time, which is probably due to the fact that he is distracted during the daytime. The one and only thing that has helped him after trying all kinds of treatments has been a kids probiotic from Vidazorb. He takes his three times a day and loves it like candy- best of all, it really works! We are so happy that he is getting so much better now. Caroline
