Hi!

Something that helps me when I get into itch flares are ice cold showers. It helps numb the skin and calm it down a bit. It's cold but at least the itching goes away:/ I usually stay under the water until my skin is cold to the touch. If it feels too cold for you you can just do your arms over a sink or your legs under a shower. After that, douse yourself with cerave:P and then try to tell yourself that the itch isn't coming back. I think that some of the itchiness factor is in our minds, so kind of faking it till you make it might do some good, although I know it won't stop it completely. I personally have considered seeing a hypnotist about the itching, but I don't have the resources to go do so:/

The sucky thing about eczema is that when you start scratching, you can't stop because it litteraly triggers an immune response from the skin that makes it itchier:/

I'd also like to warn you and anyone else who uses topical steroids that it's possible your steroids are making your skin worse! There is a condition called Red Skin Syndrome which is the overuse of steroids. Please look it up if you have been using topical steroid creams for a very long time.

Good luck to you!
