Its frustrating, but there are often lulls in it, where you are not as bad as its worst, which is where you sound like you are.

Break down the problem, this is a good forum for it.
What are you doing about it? Are you seeing a dermatologist, what medication are you on?
Are you staying fit and getting sun. That's proven to prevent depression that comes with this.

What do you like doing for fun? Find ways to still do it with eczema. I know that sounds like its easy to say, but besides swimming and nude modelling you can do anything you want.

And, do you have a personal support group, like friends and family that don't judge you on looks. If not, hell get a dog or go volunteer somewhere.

good luck.

I agree with aznzima above, that staying fit and running is good for eczema. Also the more sunlight the better is indeed good too. If I start being lazy and not working out my eczema will get worse. Also eczema is very physiological. A lot of it is in your head and the way you think. And based off how stressed you are. The strongest healing power I have found so far is the mire strength of the heart. The more positive life you have within your heart - the better your health will be. I believe the heart has the ability to change DNA actually it has been proven in recent studies. Check out http://www.heartmath.org/ and some of the studies they have done. You have to train yourself to get rid of negative thoughts and emotions and replace them with positive ones. Also I have mentioned this many times but the healing codes book is a good way to train yourself to think like this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Healing-Code-Minutes-Relationship/dp/1455502014/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337144560&sr=8-1
I was in your boat 2 years ago, but I have manages to change my life drastically by following what I said above. I still will get some flares but its very manageable and hardly an issue in my life anymore.
Dont take too many prescription drugs too, those dont do much and simply mask the problem. The real cure is the light with in your heart. Good luck.

Hi Livvyliv
have you tried the Wet Wrapping Technique?
It consists of applying wet wraps or garments and ointments on dry itchy skin.
See the following YouTube video for more details:

These people selling their products are not going after the root cause of why you have eczema is the first place. Your body is trying to tell you something, and you want to hide it with these miracle creams? Stop. Change your lifestyle and your diet.
If you have been using steroid creams for a long time, you may very well be addicted to them. It is called 'red skin syndrome' or 'topical steroid addiction'. Go to ITSAN.org and do some research. I am 17 and my life was being ruined by eczema. I was not living anymore. I found these amazing people who helped me so what I was doing wrong. STOP THE STEROIDS. They are dangerous. They are addicting. They are making you worse!

I find it sad that almost every reply is trying to sell your something. Greedy people in this world, feeding off people who are suffering.

I like the reply by tookie542! It do believe that much of the root causes of eczema stem from stress & emotional turmoil. At least, I have found this to be true for me! For me, I find that reading the Bible & praying & putting my trust in God bring peace to my mind & soul. I do believe that God can & does heal... I am praying for healing for me & all of you who suffer!

I also appreciate the practical advice from eczemanomore! I will try some of those remedies that you mentioned on your website. Thank you!
