Im fifteen and I've had terrible eczema since I was two I only had in certain spots like were my joints are but they were so severely torn op from scratching it would bleed and the pain would make me cry not to mention the annoying people wouldnt go near me because they thought it was contagious.

It was horrible and painfull i couldnt even straighting out my arms because my skin would rip, I couldnt bathe cause the water stung all my baths had to be oat meal so my skin could stay moisturized. It still didnt help as much as I would like then one day my mom suggeseted a curandera (witch doctor). It was expensive around 400 dollars but it worked I only break out on the back of my legs and a little above my lip to get rid of them I just moiturize and I also own and amazing product Bare Minerals I put it on when im a little red on my lip and by the end of the day I look fine with out the make up. it all came ot to about 472$ but it was worth it. but it you cant afford that I suggested Aveeno lotions not steroid creams there are also herbs you can use to stop the itching and to get rid of redness you can use DERMATEST PSORIASIS yeah I know were talking about eczema but if your broken out really bad it may sting for ten seconds when you first put it on but it goes away.
