I have had eczema since I was a little kid, and have been dealing with it since. Here is what I feel is the real Story. Eczema is not cureable, although there are many steps and home remedies you can take to make it appear as if it has been.

The Process:

Your skins sensitivity can very even by location on your body and will react differently to different treatments depending upon what it is sensitive to. No matter what remedies you try, you must remain dilligent with it even after it appears to be gone. This is especially true with seasonal eczema. Test out different remedies to see which ones work.

The remedies that have worked for me:

Topocal steroids from your dermatologist; worked with limited sucess and never for very long.

Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar; works very well to reduce swelling and irritation, however dries the skin out. Reccomend using a very good mosturizing cream in conjunction(eucerin origanal is my reccomendation)
The idea hear is there are a lot of amino acids that help regenerate skin, also works well on age or liver spots.

Olive oil; again limited success and gets kind of expensive and its kind of messy, although very gentle on the skin.

Lemon or lime juice; Same idea here as the vinegar, the combination of amino acids and the anti inflamitory properties work well when used with a good mosturizer. Body butters can be a good alternative to the eucerin, but its still my recomendation.

Bleach; Beware of using bleach, it can work but very harmful to the skin itself. Not recomended on extremely sensitive areas aka the genitals.

FOR MASSIVE FLARE UPS!!! For emergency relief of massive flare ups, but also a good remedy for every day flare ups.
This is not exactly homeopathic but cortizone 1% and eucerin original mosturizer combined 50/50 works great.

Again, remember to always stay on top of it, constant application of mosturizers is a must.
