Not sure if tanning would help but for my eczema I use virgin cocoanut oil.. Just put it on the eczema morning & night.. Even my worst breakout was gone in a week! It was a miracle.

Oops. I meant to type sunbed not dumbed

I'd think the dumbed would dry it out. Is the eczema bacterial? I wonder why the uv would help. It's normally bad for skin. Maybe increases bit d production? Kills bacteria? Ideas? I'd want to know what the uv does to make the eczema go away before I tried it

I had eczema for years and actually still kinda do during the winter. But it used to be horrible in the inside of my elbow. I found when I got allergy shots the giant patches have disappeared, FOREVER! But if you don't want to do that, go to a doctor. They'll prescribe a hydrocortisone cream that is amped up on all kinds of fun stuff that will make it go away.
I've had eczema on my eyelids too and it's a horrible pest :(

i know this sounds weird...but oatmeal is the BEST moisturizer and it's natural so it won't irritate your skin. just mix some oatmeal with a little water until it forms paste and rub it on the eczema. and then rinse off with water. this should help a ton!

Try lipikar baume ap and toleriane ultra by la Roche posay. The latter can be used on the eye lid!

I've just started to get bad eczema and people have told me to try the sun beds. Is this a good idea I'm really fair and suffer from dry skin aswell as my eczema :( ??
Also any tips of getting rid of dry skin around the eyes? It won't go and it's hard to cover with makeup, just makes it look worse. Any advice will be appreciated :)
