Eczema Treatment.

This is random, but I thought that if one person does and search and finds this help, it was worth the post.

I have always gotten eczema. I can remember scratching all night as a kid. Then in college, if I even touched a dusty desk, my wrists would break out. Well, after I had my son, the doctor told me to put cortizone on him when he got eczema. I did,and it seemed to work for his soft baby skin, but it doesn't for me. I happened across this combo that actually works. First, start with a sugar scrub (I use warm vanilla sugar scrub from Bath and Body Works) and scrub HARD. It sloughs off the dead skin cells and opens up the eczema. That doesn't sound good, but you follow it with Cortizone cream and then pure cocoa butter (not lotion, but the forumla - stick or tub of it). Do that at least once each day while keeping the cortizone and cocoa butter on it, and it will dry up. At least it works for me...
