How to Make my own Natural Eczema Ointment

Which Eczema Ointments Will Stop the Itching?

You’re looking at dietary changes to moderate your eczema symptoms. You have gotten allergy tests and are avoiding your known allergens. You are figuring out which household products you are sensitive to and are changing them for ones that don’t cause your eczema to flare up. You’re doing a lot of good things for yourself and you’re seeing improvement, but you still have eczema, it still flares up, and it itches. Man, does it itch! You want to get an ointment or cream that will help you, but you don’t want to get just any old one and maybe make things worse. Which one to choose?

The good news is there are a lot of eczema ointments, lotions, and creams that will provide relief. The bad news is they all may not work for you, or they may have side effects, depending on which ones you choose. Topical pharmaceutical creams will give relief almost instantly. However, they are generally cortisone-based and have adverse side effects when used long term. They can thin your skin and suppress your immune system – not good things.

While over-the-counter ointments don’t have those side effects, just grabbing the first one you see doesn’t insure that it will work for you. Check the ingredients carefully. Many creams, lotions, and ointments have artificial chemicals that you may be sensitive to.

Even if you opt for products with all natural ingredients, that’s no guarantee that they won’t have something in them that you are allergic to. For example, if you’re allergic to peanuts and a particular product has peanut oil for a moisturizer, using it certainly won’t help stop your itching. Read the ingredients carefully.

So, you’ve checked the ingredients and there is nothing you’re allergic or sensitive to, but the product doesn’t do much to alleviate your itching. What’s the problem? There are probably hundreds of creams and eczema ointments because one size isn’t going to fit all. Everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for you. You may have to try several products, but in the end you should find one that will moderate or stop your itching and that you can use long term without adverse side effects.
