I don't know about Eczema but I do have psoriasis and sometimes it gets real bad. Winters tend to be pretty rough times. I have found that the tanning beds really help me keep it under control. Right now this winter I just have small break outs on my elbows and one wrist.
I have a draw full and I do mean FULL of prescription creams and ointments. I have tried every home remedy also, but the tanning beds help the most with using some ointment also.
It itches like the dickens also. I've made myself bleed at times from scratching so hard trying to get down the itch!
Poor thing. I feel for ya.
