I, myself, do not have eczema, but both my cousin and my brother do. They both had to have long discussions with their doctors and it ultimately led to a long journey of trying different natural, gentle, unscented products until they found something that worked. I believe my brother has used some aveeno products with success.

I don't know if it'll work for eczema, but I have used a liquid, anti-itch polysporin before on bug bites and rashes that has worked like a miracle.

I do have eczema (And psoriasis, yay me!) and the only thing that has ever worked for me is one of the simplest products out there. Goat milk. I've tried a few brands of goat milk soaps and lotions, but my favorite and what works best for me is from a family-owned goat dairy and business called Goat Milk Stuff. The boss lady, PJ, is awesome and she and her kids have done amazing things creating their all natural, super safe products. The kids are all nearly grown now, and I remember when the oldest was just like eleven. She's married with kids now. LOL

Anyway, here's a link to their Eczema page. It lists a bunch of soaps that hundreds of people have tried with their eczema and had good results with. The "Purity" soap is especially safe to use, friends have even used it on newborn babies (people and pets!) with no problems, but I personally use the "Tea Tree" most often of the soaps on that page.

I'm lucky enough that my skin responds well to half a dozen other scents too, but I mostly stick with the "Tea Tree" and a limited edition one called "Cool Citrus Basil" that's only sold once a year in the spring. I saved up and bought enough of the CCB last spring when it was available that I'll likely still have some in 2023. :))

I'll have to get some thanks guys

I actually had eczema when I was alot younger. My grandmother made me stinging nettle ointment. It does look disgusting, like this green paste & smells quite odd however once you use it every night, till the eczema fully goes away it only comes back on very rare occasions. I rarely ever get it anymore.

I'm trying some bag balm. My mom used this for everything when my sister and I were little. It's great for dry cracked or split skin

I figured out awhile ago either my hair products/body wash would trigger mine. I swapped over to higher class products and mine went away

However the goat milk stuff actually burns my skin ^_^ I use lubriderm (advanced, the red one) and it’s the only thing that doesn’t irritate me. Dove body wash helped me a lot

But everyone is different. I’m a red head and my skin hates me. Also moving to a more humid state helped me a TON.
