Or even natural remedies.

I have a few odd patches of eczema which are so dry. and my skin is overall dry on my hands, arms, and legs.

What creams work? I'm using Aveeno but no change?

body shop hemp cream is wonderful, tried everything and this works great x

I've found Aveeno good. I've only got eczema on my feet, but for my face and hands I'm using Aveeno. They do a rich night cream and then a lighter day one with an SPF in it. It doesn't leave a residue too much.

i tried aveeno coz ds has a sort of crocodile skin on his legs, it is really really good, expensive but def worth a try scarlet

epaderm ointment is good - the doctor will presecribe it but you can buy it over the counter. It is very thick and helps enormously with the dryness.

ooh thanks humpfrey will try that might be less expensive!

I use Skin Salvation from Pure Potions for my eczema on my hands: www.purepotions.biz/shop/page/6?sessid=c7cVRXwF4G4RN2brUZEd9dXxlGfCeUxWbrJt6OaCcnhNfKbpL4OchN7l2BsacWTz&shop_param=

It's quite oily when you put it on but works wonders. Also good on chapped lips!
