Eczema at times, but I use stuff that is only available with a doctor's prescription and renewable once (to cover the season only).
Taro Mometasone is the name. It's a topical anti-inflammatory drug from the cortisone family (corticosteroid).
Be warned that while it doesn't create any dependency, it does thin your skin (permanently). My skin did get a slightly thicker (in mm) after I stopped but it didn't came back to what it was before I used it (if compared to skin nearby or similar area on the other side of the body or the other limb). It means that you may be a little red in that area and you may get bruises more easily on that spots.
So you apply it very lightly but man, first application it stopped the itching (and leaking, told you I was far) within minutes. That might be one, or two at most, step away from being considered the nuclear bomb in terms of treatment for eczema.
But it works.
Other stuff to help with eczema are rest/sleep, lowered stress and using soap with nothing added to it (the plain Dover bar works). A for the creams, like Aveeno, those who worked for me are those like the soaps. No perfume and no additive whatsoever.
