How do you know when it's time to change treatments?

How long do you give a treatment to work before deciding to try something new? Do you wait for symptoms to arise or do you switch when you see no changes to your skin?

  1. 3-5 days for me. If the item is being discontinued by the manufacturer or getting too expensive, then I change to something else.

  2. Nothing is helping right now

    1. I hear how frustrating this must be for you. You're definitely not alone in feeling like nothing is helping your eczema. Sending you healing vibes. Best, Sam S. (Admin).

    2. Hi there, what things have you tried?

  3. When current treatment is no longer providing relief from itching and scratching

    1. , do you wait a certain amount of time when the itching and scratching starts back up again? Or is it pretty immediate that you switch treatments? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

  4. When it don’t go away for at least A week
