Does anyone have eczema and is yours acting up due to the dry air?
I read somewhere that eczema flare up when immune systems are down? I know I'm going through some things in my life that is bringing me down. I also read that UV therapy helps (two thumbs up for tanning beds) and having a special diet? No lotions are working and I am scratching until I bleed or have "raw" skin

PLEASE... Help me. I'm really uncomfortable and somehow it gets worse

I just had a baby and my eczema has been getting worse as a result. Stress, hormone changes, allergies and changing weather can effect eczema. Until recently, I had not had any flare-ups in years. I'm sorry yours is bad! The tanning bed made mine MUCH worse, but every one is different. Your Dr can give you different medicines, or if you want to treat it at home, benadryl can help. Webmd has some helpful tips.

Lush makes a non lathering bodywash called dreamwash that is made specifically for eczema. its literally packed with soothing and healing ingredients like calamine, rose, aloe vera and chamomile. plus its got tea tree to help disinfect your open sores. its a little pricy at $20 but if you use it when your flaring up you'll see immediate results.

I have a really bad patch on my neck and it's horrible right now because of the weather. I use Dr Bronners 18-in-1 tea tree soap. It's all natural Castile soap without the harsh chemicals. If I have to, I use the neosporin hydrocortisone cream on it and it helps tremendously. I can't think of the name of the company, but they make a usda certified organic lotion specifically for eczema. I'll have to check the name and get back to you. I've found it only helps me when I stay away from cleansers with harsh chemicals.

Are you seeing a dermatologist? If not, GO SEE ONE! My DH has really bad eczema. Some things to research: bleach baths(sounds crazy but it's less bleach than being in a pool), cutting dairy and or gluten out of your diet and cereve lotion.
