I need your best reccomendation. I’ve always used prescribed mometosome but I need something natural like an oil or lotion!?

ElizabethAngelina to your question, I have an answer that has shown great effect in controlling the itching from atopic dermititis that could not be stopped easily and I have tried the regular use of a mixture of 3 teaspoons jojoba oil and 1 teaspoon of castor oil that made the itching disappear but I am not sure if it is a general remedy to stop the itching and scratching that comes from eczema.

What natural oils or lotions work well for managing eczema symptoms?

If you're looking for natural alternatives to help manage your eczema, several options have worked well for other MyEczemaTeam members:

Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline)
This is one of the most recommended options because it has no alcohol to dry out skin. A MyEczemaTeam member shared they "lather it up multiple times a day." It's 100% natural and creates a protective barrier to lock in moisture.

Colloidal Oatmeal Products
Oatmeal-based lotions, soaps, and bath products can soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation. One member said, "I still believe oatmeal is a wonderful soother in soap, lotions, and by itself."

Ceramide-Rich Moisturizers
Products containing ceramides help restore your skin's natural barrier. Brands like CeraVe have helped some members, though experiences vary. One member found success with CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Cream after other CeraVe products didn't work.

Natural Oils and Butters
Some members have found relief with natural oils, though it's important to note that certain oils like coconut oil can disrupt the skin microbiome, and avocado oil may cause allergies with regular use.

Important reminder: While these natural options can help with moisture and symptom relief, they won't provide the same anti-inflammatory benefits as your prescribed mometasone. Talk to your dermatologist before making any changes to ensure your eczema stays well-controlled.
