What Has Cleared Up Your Excema?
I have horrible excema on my elbows and it appears to be spreading down my arm. It's on my knee too. I was using a tea tree ointment for a while and it was clearing up, but now it's back in full force. It itches like crazy and is annoying! Especially since I'm in a wedding next month. I'm going to make a doctor appointment if I can't find something OTC that actually works.

I don't have it, but my SIL does and she found out allergies to food was the problem. She stopped eating certain foods and it cleared up nice.

Yeah, I'm sure it's dairy, but oddly enough I never had this issue until adulthood (along with the seasonal allergies). And since I'm not giving up dairy anytime soon, I just have to go the medicine route!

Have you ever tried pine tar soap? I don't have eczema but I do have psoriasis on my elbows and I get good results when I use this.

Try Milk of Magnesia...it works for me. New studies show that it works great!
