Once your health care provider is sure you have eczema, the mainstays of therapy are anti-inflammatory medication and relief from the itching.
Prescription-strength steroid cream and antihistamine medication are the usual treatments. Steroid shots may also be administered.
Diet restrictions and chemical skin-drying agents may also be offered, but their success is controversial.
For severe cases not responding to high-potency steroid cream, alternate treatments may be tried. These include coal tar, PUVA (psoralen + ultraviolet A light), and chemotherapy agents.
Typical Symptoms
Medical professionals sometimes refer to eczema as "the itch that rashes."
Usually the first symptom of eczema is intense itching.
The rash appears later. It is patchy and starts out as flaky or scaly dry skin on top of reddened, inflamed skin.
If it is scratched, it may ooze and become crusty, especially in young children.
In adults, the patches are more likely to be brownish, scaly, and thickened.
Some people develop red bumps or clear fluid-filled bumps that look "bubbly" and, when scratched, add wetness to the overall appearance.
The rash can be located anywhere on the body but is most often found on the face and on the arms and legs, particularly in creases and on hands and feet. This pattern makes sense because the face and extremities are in contact with external agents more than any other part of the body.
Is there a Cure for Eczema
There is no know cure so far...it seems Eczema can only be managed.
How to treat at Home
Removing whatever is causing the allergic reaction is the easiest and most effective treatment. This may be as simple as changing your laundry detergent or as difficult as moving to a new climate or changing jobs.
Prevent dry skin by taking warm (not hot) showers rather than baths. Use a mild soap or body cleanser. Dry yourself very carefully and apply moisturizing skin lotions all over your body. Avoid lotions with fragrances or other irritating substances.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting, rough, or scratchy clothing.
Avoid scratching the rash. If you can't stop yourself from scratching, cover the area with a dressing. Wear gloves at night to minimize skin damage from scratching.
Anything that causes sweating can irritate the rash. Avoid strenuous exercise during a flare.
If the allergy-causing agent cannot be removed or identified, the next step is to lessen the allergic inflammatory response.
Apply an nonprescription steroid cream (hydrocortisone) along with anti-itching lotion (menthol/camphor, such as calamine). The cream must be applied as often as possible without skipping days until the rash is gone.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in pill form may be taken for the itching. Caution - this medication may make you too drowsy to drive a car or operate machinery safely.
Clean the area with a hypoallergenic soap every day. Apply lubricating cream or lotion after washing.
Avoid physical and mental stress. Eating right, light activity, and adequate sleep will help you stay healthy, which can help prevent flares.
Do not expect a quick response. Eczema is easier to control than cure.
Dietary Supplements the work!
How we beat Eczema
May 17, 2009
My name is Chris, I have strugled all my teenage and young adult life with the awfull symptoms, rashes and scars of ecxema. I have been strugling with how to treat this eczema with no success. I have been given all the drugs, creams and steroid shots with no luck. My girlfrien found out about Vitacel GH7 by searching on the internet.
I decided to try the Vitacel product based on others were saying on these testimonials...I have been taking Vitacel now for just over a month and my ecxema rash and symptoms have cleared up completely. If if can help others by telling my story that would be great. Vitacel GH7 worked for me and changed my life. No more covering up the rash and scars.

Gerard had Eczema skin symptoms from head to toe and was constantly scratching. After 10 days of taking one natural alternative medicine called Vitacel GH7 tablet, twice a day, the Eczema itching and symptoms stopped. After one month his face and neck cleared up. Now after two months, the Ezcema is almost completely gone, Vitacel was the natural cure treatment for his Ezcema skin problems.

INFANT ECZEMA SKIN SYMPTOMS TREATMENT
Hello, my name is Phillip Grimes. I am 4 1/2 months old. I have Ezcema skin symptoms and rashes all over my body. My mommy kept taking me to the doctor and the hospital. It didn’t do any good for the treatment of my infant Eczema symptoms. It only got worse. My mommy gave me baths and put all kinds of Eczema skin creams on me. It just kept itching and white flakes kept falling from my head. I just looked a mess! Then one day this man came over and gave my mommy a bottle of a natural alternative medicine called Vitacel GH7. She said, “Here goes! I’ve tried everything!” She broke one tablet into four pieces. She gave me one in the morning and one at night. Well, it worked! In just nine days my Ezcema skin problem was gone, the Vitacel was the remedy and cure for me! If I could talk, I would thank the guy who gave me those Vitacel GH-7 health supplement pills.

ECZEMA SYMPTOMS TREATMENT STORY
January 1985
For 38 years I have fought arthritis and Eczema and the symptoms of these disorders, rashes and redness which started in my hands and then spread, at various times, to my neck, back, knees, and hips. Shots or injection treatments, such as gold shots, Cortisone, or Novocaine were of no help or brought only temporary relief. Athritis medications such as Indocin, Prednisone, Motrin, and most recently Naproxyn caused gastric distress resulting in three (3) gastric hemorrhages that required blood transfusions. The last hemorrhage put me in intensive care. After that, I was told to take only Ecotrin in conjunction with food. This gave no relief to the painful left thigh muscles and hip even though I was taking at least eight (8) tablets in a 24 hour period. Neat and cold therapy, plus ultrasound, brought no relief. Only Tylenol with Codeine gave some lessening of distress. Pain developed in any sitting or lying position. Walking was painful, even with the use of a cane.
A neighbor, Lorraine Phelps, noted my improvement and introduced me to a natural alternative medicine called Vitacel GH3, which I started taking in May, 1984. I also take Vitacel 4 for high cholesterol. It required three months for the hip and thigh pain to disappear and somewhat longer for the other ailments. The effect on high cholesterol is still in a trial period. Now, I have ceased the use of all medications for arthritis as well as Tagamet for stomach distress and anti-histamines (taken for seven (7) years). The Ezcema on my fingers has disappeared plus I do not suffer muscular cramps on my legs of soles of my feet. I feel great as the Vitacel health supplements have been the cure and remedy for my Eczema! In October and November of 1984, I spent a month in Australia and New Zealand without problems.
Thanks to all of those involved in producing and telling everyone of Vitacel and GH3. I, for one, will be forever grateful for the boost to a comfortable life, free of pain and health problems and without all the side effects of other medicated drug treatments.

Dear Ron and Marcie:
Our oldest son, Joel, age 24, has started taking Vitacel GH3 to see what it will do for his Asthma, Eczema and allergies. The allergies and Ezcema symptoms have been so bad on his hands since last summer that he has totally lost all the top layer of skin on them twice. He has tried every Ezcema skin cream treatment, lotion, vitamin and prescriptions there is, with only with a questionable results.. His hands are so rough from the Ezcema rash symptoms, they look like they are scared with a third degree burn. We talked to him last week-end and he said he had a slight improvement. He has been taking Vitacel GH3 for about two weeks. It certainly can’t hurt him! Actually, if nothing else, I know it will benefit his general health. College seems to be quite stressful and taxing on one’s physical health and nerves. We will keep you posted on our progress.

HEALING INFANT ECZEMA TESTIMONY
March 8, 1991
Dear Dr. Robert Koch,
I have been using your Vitacel health supplement product for 2 months and I’ve really seen an improvement with my Ezcema skin disorder rash symptoms. This is how I was introduced to your product on January 5, 1991.
I have Ezcema and a lady named Martha told me about this Vitacel product. So the next day I took it, and I continued to take it and saw a wonderful improvement in my skin. I had Eczema since I was four years old, so I’ve had this for six years. Now I use the improved and advanced Vitacel GH7. I have a better hope of getting away from Ezcema .
As I close this letter, I want to say thank you very much for a wonderful product.

Vitacel GH-7 for Longevity, Strength and Recovery
“Since then, a new product has emerged called Vitacel 7 GH-7, which is superior to the other GH-3 formulas and contains a variety of nutrients including procaine HCl. The two primary uses of Vitacel 7 are to slow the aging process, increase strength, and speed the recovery of athletes.” (Read More…)
WHY DID 35,000 GH–3 USERS SWITCH TO VITACEL GH-9 GH-8 AND GH-7 PRODUCTS?
“Vitacel GH-9, GH-8 and GH-7 are 6 times (600%) more potent than the original GH-3 formula because of the 100% complexing of the procaine.” (Read More…)
THE ORIGINAL GH-3 - Versus - THE VITACEL 7 (GH-7)
Vitacel 9 and 8 (GH-7) is the most cutting edge, improved procaine complexed formula by up to 600% over the original GH-3 formula. The Vitacel procaine works much longer in the blood stream to cleanse, feed and repair damaged cells. Dr. Koch has been granted over $100,000 in US and Foreign Patents for the advanced Vitacel 7 formulas… (Read More…)
