Avoid dairy products
Diet never causes eczema. Food only causes allergy, it does not cause eczema. It is the genes of a person that cause eczema. If you are allergic or sensitive to certain foods then try avoiding them, because they can trigger eczema. Dairy products, eggs, nuts, preservatives and citrus fruits are more likely to trigger eczema.
Other Suggestions for Eczema
Always avoid substances you are allergic to. Wear cotton clothes as they do not irritate your itchy skin. Exposure to water for a long time can lead to skin dryness. Use good quality moisturizer.

GINGER HELPS
suggested by karen on Thursday, January 15, 2009
I have had very bad eczema for many years and have tried many remedies including acupuncture. Everything I tried seemed to work for a while, but the eczema eventually always returned. However, I have recently found that taking ginger capsules and drinking ginger tea every day has helped tremendously. Ginger is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent and eczema is an inflammatory process. I also stopped eating processed sugar since this too causes inflammation. I hope this can help others as well.
Ultra Healing Remedy
suggested by Rosemarie on Saturday, April 26, 2008
I have eczema on and off since childhood and I know what it's like. The last episode started last year around October when I noticed a very itchy and dry, scaly patch on the pad of the little finger on my right hand. I went to a dermatologist and she gave me a prescription for a soap-free cleanser and betamethasone cream. I followed the procedure she outlined to me religiously, but after a week of application, it had only gotten worse. I tried all sorts of natural remedies I found online--from coating the affected area thickly with petroleum jelly (alternating with diaper cream) to soaking it in a solution of turmeric and massaging it with a few drops of tea tree oil. Nothing worked. It even spread to the 3/4 of my finger. And then, feeling hopeless and willing to try anything, I tried using Vaseline Ultra Healing lotion. I noticed right away that the area felt very moisturized and softer. After a day of applying Vaseline Ultra Healing Lotion almost every couple of hours, I used the soap-free cleanser my doctor had prescribed and washed my hand. While it was wet, I gently brushed off the dry, flaky bits of dead skin with a clean, soft toothbrush (get a separate toothbrush just for this). I then dried my pinkie gently by patting it with a clean towel and applied the Vaseline Ultra Healing Lotion. Within a week, my pinkie no longer looked and felt ragged and dry. It still became itchy once in a while when the weather turned cold, I was stressed, or accidentally used a harsh cleanser for washing my hands, but I kept the eczema at bay with the soap-free cleanser and Vaseline Ultra Healing Lotion. I am in no way connected with Vaseline or endorsing the brand. I'm just sharing my experience as an eczema sufferer, and how I finally found a way to manage it.
Taking care of the different stages of eczema
suggested by kathy on Saturday, February 9, 2008
I have had this terrible skin disorder since a child and have gone through many different meds and home remedies. If your eczema is at the oozing stage soak in oatmeal baths and then follow up with neutrogena sesame seed oil and pat dry. If you are in the scaling stage try rubbing crisco on your skin and wrap plastic wrap around areas and sleep with this on. Try wearing white cotton gloves to bed for you scratch and irritate the areas in your sleep. Use cool water to bathe for hot water irritates these areas. Use a good moisturizing lotion like eucerin and also use cortisone when itching. One thing that works well is tanning regularly but don't overdue it in one session. Make sure you know your allergies and try as hard as you can to stay away from those food items or airborne items that you are allergic too. I use aveeno bath products too and stay away from the perfumed items.
honey
suggested by Rosie on Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Putting honey on infected eczema helps to clear the infection within hours without using steroid creams that are prescribed by a doctor. Honey is a genital antiseptic and although it is sticky for a few hours meaning that you have to bandage the affected area it is well worth it. It isn't painful either.
