Is there a home remedy doctor on the house?

Okay..............I'm not proud to say, but I have a rash on my arm. Don't get disgusted, people. It's not as gross, or bad, as you'd probably imagine. As it turns out, I happen to have Eczema a.k.a. Dermatitis. I wanted to ask my highly intelligent, and knowledgeable, KMC bretheren if any of y'all know what I'm going through, and if you can offer any advice on home remedies or amatuer medical advice before I break down and go to my doctor and shell out my hard earned money. Please help. big grin

You have eczema and you havent heard of "Elidel" (thats the proper spelling) blink

I just now realized that Eczema is what this rash is. I've been using dry skin cremes and moisturizers (like Eucarin) but nothing helps. I'm what you would call a "just now understanding the ailment" patient. I'm really uninformed on this particular topic. Which is why I'm asking y'all. wink

My mother told me that I should rub Apple Cider Vinegar on the rash. Seems pretty "home remedy" to me. Although I have yet to try it. stick out tongue

Oh, trust me. I'll go, regardless. I know that my doctor can prescribe me some cream or some kind of pill that will help. I just wanted to hear the advice of my fellow KMC'ers. I'll definitley ask him about Elidel.

I have that. It gets really bad in the winter. erm

For now the best thing you can do is moisturize until you get a prescription. Use a water based moisturizer in the morning and before you go to bed, and after you take a shower don't wipe the water off, dry you arms by just patting them. This will keep most of the moisture in.

happy

Really.................hmmmm. I use a moisturizer in the morning and at night, but I never knew about "pat drying" after showering. I'll take that into consideration.

Very red, itchy dry patches of skin. Sometimes it can look scaly, or even crack and bleed. It itches 200 times worse than Poison Ivy.

I have it in a big rash where you flex your arm at the elbow, on the inside. Sorry, I have bad description lol. But I use A&D ointment and it rids of it in no time. Im pretty sure it's due to the cold weather drying your skin out.
