I just did a search for my eczema cream and it is only $2.91!!! I just got back from the chemist today and even with insurance, my prescription co-pay was $17.00. That site is definitely bookmarked!

Wow..I'll have to mention these meds to my doctor..I'm also a migraine sufferer. Right now I"m trying accupuncture, it seems to be helping, but I havent gone in awhile.

I'm glad you found osmething to help you though! I know the day when mine are cured I will be balling tears of joy, so I can only imagine your happiness!

What eczema cream do you use? My daughter has really bad eczema on her legs & I've tried everything & nothing helps!

I use Elocon and it is REALLY good. I get patches on my leg and it clears it up FAST!!! It's wonderful. I recently tried another cream called clobetosol and it was not nearly as effective. I had to chuck and get the elocon.

Depending on how old your daughter is, you may want to start with Elocon and once it is cleared up, switch to a non-steroid cream like Elidel. The steroid creams are so effective but no good for ongoing use especially on youngsters.

If you need any other info, let me know

Ya, my dr asked me if I wanted to try the Elidel, but I've heard they just put a cancer warning on it, so I said no. Especially since my daughter is only 1. I will ask my dr about Elocon at her next check-up! Thanks!! I just ordered this cream from Australia & got it yesterday, so we'll see if it works!

Do you recommend any good lotions or soaps? Right now I use Cetaphil soap & lotion & Aquaphyllic lotion on her.

WOW, a year old, huh? I don't know if they will prescribe it for her...not sure. My derm told me to use the cetaphil antibacterial bar and the Eucerin Calming Creme. Another thing that might be good for her is an oatmeal bath or an oatmeal cleanser. You can get it all-natural and organic and that stuff is supposed to be good. Borage oil capsules are also good to take but you can also just pierce them and put it on the area. Check with your doc since she is so young tho. My friend's daughter has had it since she was a baby too so I'll ask her what she has used. Another thing is diet. Cutting out too much dairy and sugar can definitely help.

What was the cream from Australia? I'm always on the lookout for something good. I like to use all natural when I can. That's also crazy about Elidel...I hadn't heard that

There is the link to the stuff I ordered. I got the lavender face & body balm for her. So far it is working pretty good! Her skin is softer & not quite as red from the patches. Yes, on the Elidel cream it has a black box with a cancer warning on it now! Crazy! The only oatmeal stuff I can find is made by Aveeno & she breaks out from Aveeno products.

As far as her diet she gets the least amount of sugar & diary as possible! She hasn't had whole milk yet & I try to give her only organic food if possible.

Oh, & the creams says for babies/toddlers but it can be used for adults too. I put some on & it makes my skin so soft!
