My 22 month old son has eczema pretty much all over his body and just here recently has it really been showing up everywhere and he is constantly scratching until his skin is peeling and bleeding off and I just feel hopeless in finding him any relief. It is so frustrating. does anyone have any recommendations on what I can give him for immediate relief I've tried everything

Members rallied around a parent seeking immediate relief for their toddler's severe eczema, sharing a range of remedies that have worked for them or their children, including Eucerin Eczema cream, Elidel, colloidal silver, triple antibiotic ointment for open wounds, and over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl, Zyrtec, and Hydroxyzine to reduce itching and improve sleep. Several members emphasized the importance of probiotics, food sensitivity testing, and oatmeal baths, while also recommending resources like the Eczema Kids podcast and Karen Fischer's book Eczema Detox. A recurring theme was the shared exhaustion and financial strain of trying countless products, the desperation for anything that stops the relentless scratching, and the profound relief when something finally works.

Eucerin Eczema cream have been a miracle, I try all the topical cream didn't work for me, and my body was full with blister. This is my first, so I scratch them until my back was all scratch because I Itch all over. I was going from one doctor to another getting no relief. So I decide to investigate what work for me to stop itch, so I stop scratching leading alot of scar. Eucerin have ben a life saver it stop the first day that was two weeks ago. My eczema is dry out and my skin don't feel rubber anyone,I have hope. Main thing is there no more itch, I can sleep at night and go out and not worry that I am going to start itching.
