What "cures" have you heard of for eczema?

Many people share their unsolicited advice and much of it comes with so-called cures. What have you heard people say made their or someone they know's eczema go away?

  1. My Dermatologist prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP as my skin/body was dry, itchy, and flaking from the neck down. I used it twice a day for two weeks and it really helped clear it. I now only shower 2-3 times a week and use this ointment after showering and also only where I'm flaking and itchy, which seems only to be my forearms., front of legs and sometime the tops of my feet. At my age 91, my skin is paper thin, wrinkled and ugly spotted from so much sun, so I keep my arms and legs covered most of the time.

    1. I could post 500 ads from 1903 claiming Dr. Walrus's Magnetic Catharhic Elixir will cure everything from poverty to baldness.
      Otherwise, helpful hints on this malady are appreciated. People are no wiser now than they were in 1903.
