Yes it can, rub it in gently after a bath or leave it overnight. Here are some extra tips:

- Take 4 cups of oatmeal (powdered is best) and mix it with warm bathwater, soak for about 15 mins, rinse with more warm water and pat them dry (dont rub!).

- Make a paste out of oatmeal and warm water, leave it on until it dries then wash off

- Leave raw honey on affected areas for 20 minutes then rinse off with warm water

- Take natural supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, and vitamin C or apply them directly onto the skin

- Keep your skin moisturized, use creams with blueberry or licorice extract

- Cut out or reduce milk (give them soy), eggs, peanuts and sugar from their diet

- Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and shower after you sweat

What does eczema look like under the skin?

Asked by Wiki User

it differs. somedays it feels like its not even there and you have clear skin. but when it flares up you have to itch it, you feel the need to itch it. if you leave it long enough you feel like if you don't itch it, it will drive you mad. then you've itched it, you feel it come up some where else and you itch that and so on and so on. when you have stopped itching you may feel it start up again so you will itch it again. this keeps occurring until you are satisfied. you could be bleeding and you still aren't satisfied. But it's different for everyone, this is just how it happens to me.

What is a recommended eczema cure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There actually is no known "cure" for eczema only treatments. The problems with standard treatments, light boxes, creams (corticosteroids etc) is that they have side effects, especially steroids which can weaken the skin. I've had it for years, and only recently have been looking for more natural treatments. Try searching for homeopathic remedies or something like http://www.eczema-cure-all.com (which worked for me) or check on WebMD
