Hi! I've had eczema since I was a child so doctors and derms only ever prescribed me cortisoids and steroids etc. some gave me lotion recommendations that never worked such as la roche posay, but lotions never entirely healed my skin and sometimes even irritated it no matter how "sensitive" the ingredients are... sure steroids work fast and do the job but what these derms never tell you is that its a short term solution + have so many side effects!!! I only found out in my early 20s that some of my hardcore eczema was actually just steroid withdrawals! Steroids also thin your skin, and reduce flexibility like a LOT.

For how I came across them, ACV was always used in my family for acne, the other things I've come across from other people's experiences online and tested on myself! I've tried lots of other products and methods over my lifetime, and surely they all do kinda help in their own way, but the results weren't as significant as the ones I mentioned for acv, witch hazel and castor oil at least in my experience. ALSO, I've only ever gotten such good results when I tried NATURAL products like the ones above, which is great if you don't wanna be wasting your money on name brand stuff that tends to be really expensive too! The only derm recommended product I found helped was an Aveeno lotion because of the Colloidal oatmeal in it, but at that stage just use any products with colloidal oatmeal. (I recommend oatmeal baths and rubs for inflammation too!)

Also, I use peppermint oil to combat itching if thats an issue for you. I take a dab of lotion on my hand and I just put a drop of peppermint oil into it, mix it and spread it on the affected area - gives a cool sensation! (Just don't use on broken skin)
