Answer: My doctor and many sites reccomended taking a daily dose of Flaxseed Oil (add to a smoothie) and rubbing Aloe Vera gel into the area at least twice a day.Not only has this cured me of most of my eczema but it has also reduced the itching on the tiny part still to go.Flaxseed oil is often reccomended for skin conditions. It's available from health food places and some supermarkets. Keep it in fridge and use quickly though, it goes off fast like milk. As for Aloe, get a pure aloe gel - not one in moisturiser. It's more expensive but it lasts a long time. You will find it will itch or sting when you apply it but that will ease off and generally soothe it. However - talk to a doctor because eczema comes in many types and some treatments will work best on some and not so good on others. Generally they will either tell you the same as me or prescribe an ointment, but be careful as those ointments often steroid based and can be harmful. Generally they won't prescribe for any longer than a few months and won't give refills because of the health dangers
