What are your "go to" items when you are flaring?

Whether it's prescription treatments, over-the-counter treatments, skincare products, homemade remedies, what do you turn to in the middle of an eczema flare-up?

  1. I use before putting skin cream on after a shower or feeling the itch. Be sure to try a good brand, it doesn't have a long shelf life and must be in a spray bottle that keeps the light out. My eczema seems to almost constant so yes, I use it often.

  2. Lidocaine and menthol roll on.

  3. I don't use it all the time only when I get itching hands it seems to take about 30 minutes to work for me I've tried to keep away from steroids cream

  4. Definitely Eucerin Aquaphor. Also Beeswax and CBD ointment because the flares break your skin barrier and when I have a flare all the moisture creams just vanish into my skin so I go for these ointments just to calm the skin and let it heal first.
