Overnight see if the system is responding to Starch. You can gently give a rice starch cover overnight.


Wash the skin gently in cool or warm water, not hot, and don鈥檛 bathe bathe too often have dry skin.


Use mild unscented soaps moisturize skin with bath oil or shower.

My daughter had eczema and as an acupuncturist I too wanted to avoid harsher meds if possible. I learned a lot about self care tips and ended up collecting them into a website. It is a free informational site and not selling anything. I am just trying to share info that helped us.


There are pages there about washing, diet, allergies, products and more. I am sure you can find some useful info to help your son. The website is:

The first piece of advice is to wash less frequently and with a very gentle natural soap. Use only warm water, not hot as that strips more natural oils. After washing, while still damp apply a very simple, natural moisturizer. This should get things started.
Often skincare products can contain unnecessary ingredients such as colors or fragrance.





But also look out for harsh preservatives, like parabens, which can trigger an eczema flare-up.





I found a really useful site that lets you compare the ingredients of several leading brands, its from a company called exederm

Please, try this! take Omega 3 fish oil tablets 3 times daily with food.


I have really bad excema and i got fed up with it. I'd tried everything, id read the reviews on this and thought id give it a go. It works for a LOT of people.


I've been taking them for 3 weeks now and my excema is clearing up! it should take a few months to go completely.


Do this plus moisturise, drink lots of water :)





try and work out what triggers it, like makes it get worse. For me, its heat and allergies.
This is a really hard question to answer,


Someone had send me this website and you'll come to a site that has all the info you need .





Hope this helps out some way :)

use a low oil lotion for the dryness. And if eczema acts up put ice or something cold on it, =]
olive oil...its natural and moisturises well for the skin...you could try it.
