Eczema Lotion Reasonable Price

eczema is sometimes caused by allergies or triggered by certain foods. You might want to look into that to see if you can clear up the eczema.

I have psoriasis which is another skin condition but also very itchy. I use gold bond ultimate food cream everywhere. Its thick, absorbs pretty quickly, and stays on well.

Since you have a bad habit of deleting your original question I am going to post it on here so those that take the time to come on here to help others can see what it was.

Eczema lotion reasonable price
Hi all for severe eczema my son was recommended to buy Cerave at 15 dollar a container, just wondering if there’s a cheaper one out there that works for eczema thanks Mom’s.

So for my answer I am not sure about lotions but I know my sister in law used oatmeal baths for my niece. You also want to use a mild soap none with perfumes in it. I would also agree with Nav G coconut oil would probably help more than normal lotions as it is antimicrobial and will help heal the skin. If you are open to using essential oils (I know not everyone is) I would use a few drops of frankincense and peppermint oils along with the coconut oil. That is what my chiropractor has told me to put on my skin when I have any kind of cut, scrap or burn as it helps sooth and heal.

Good luck

We were given something by pharmacist that was in a tub and worked wonders. Just ask at counter. It was very inexpensive and you could just liberally apply - still use today. I found it to be the best moisturizer I've used also. It's an 'emollient'. They will know. (ETA they make it up at the pharmacy. It is almost like a thick white paste but absorbs beautifully into the skin as made up mostly of water. You coat it on after bathing, and it seals in the water.)

The dermatologists give out samples from the companies that supply them (reps). They want you to keep buying those products. I just kept those little creams/tubs for the kids for their backpacks at school. They are fine, but after bath, and at home, the tubs (inexpensively made up by the pharmacists) work much better. The dermatologists/allergists (we see in our case) will say they are just as (if not more) effective if you ask them directly.

Good luck :)

ETA - are you using a prescription ointment to get it under control? You mention 'severe'. Until you get the skin 'settled' as our derm and allergist stressed, creams aren't really effective for severe cases. Are you seeing a dermatologist?

From mayo clinic site - 'Eczema is related to a gene variation that affects the skin's ability to provide this protection. This allows your skin to be affected by environmental factors, irritants and allergens.'

My son's skin didn't respond to any creams until his skin was 'healed'. He had to do this a couple of times a year with the ointments if his skin got out of control. It runs in my husband's family (that and allergies). So his skin is very much affected by allergens.

In between, the cream (emollient) was enough to keep his skin in good shape. Had to get it under control first.

Believe it or not, my dermatologist said the best thing for it was Vaseline, so I bought a tub of Vaseline and some cotton gloves and lathered the stuff on my hands, put the gloves on, and went to bed, leaving the product on overnight. Apparently, moisturizing protects the skin from the pesky itching or dryness, which can cause flareups. Before that, I was using Triamcinolone Acetonide, which is expensive. I notice my fingers' eczema breakouts get worse under stressful situations and in this summer heat, I virtually have perfect fingers in the colder months. Surprisingly, this product has great reviews and costs less than the one you mentioned, might be worth giving it a try: https://forcesofnaturemedicine.com/products/eczema-contro...

Cervae creme (not lotion) works best for my child and it's $10 for a 12 oz tub at Target (saves you $5 from where ever you looked). https://www.target.com/p/cerave-moisturizing-cream-for-no...

MM - why not find out what your son is allergic to before you start using lotions? Eczema is a reaction to an allergen. Typically a food allergy and Claritin and Zyrtec wouldn't work on it.

start a food log for your son. Find out what flares up his skin. This will help you deal with it as well. Keep everything simple right now. Don't add anything in until a week or so has gone by so you know what the difference is.

Not sure how old he is but flax seed oil got rid of my daughter’s eczema. Once when she was very young and I mixed the oil in with her bottle. I did it for constipation and shockingly, fixed her skin. Then it started coming back in small spots. She’s early teens and was very diligent with creams etc. I remembered the flax seed oil. She starting taking pills and boom. It went away again.

How old is your son? My sons sister had/has it. I gave her mom coconut oil and had her mix a few drops of rosemary oil in it. It’s helped a lot.

I am not sure, I personally would ask a dr if there is a generic version. Maybe actually a pharmacist might know better.

But I know my brother in law has it and he keeps the inflammation down with diet. He said hasn’t had it come up in over a year. I also dated a guy but he had it bad-he did shots 1x a month.

I prefer to go the natural way and many people swear by Pure African Shea butter for eczema. I use it on my 50+ yr old skin to help with the wrinkles and it does the job. Very affordable product as well...got a big jar thru Amazon.

My daughter had eczema as a baby and at 24 now she has small issues with it.

I bought want my dermatologist recommended. Health and safety were priority here and I used what the recommended and did not go cheap. In MOST instances, you get what you pay for. Her comfort and relief of this awful experience trumped money. Yes, some cremes were pricey but I I did everything I could to help not save pennies on the dollar.

That said, she is using a product now that was seen on Facebook called Child's Farm (blue label w/ a yellow duck pic) sensitive baby moisturizer. She ordered it off Amazon at less than $10 for a bottle and said it is the best she has ever used.

Keep in mind most containers last a long time. Vest wishes to you. Another thing, my pedi said she'd outgrow it and she did outgrow most of it. A trip to the beach always cleared it up for some reason. Stress is also a trigger.

My daughter used equate when her first had uncontrolled eczema. It's less expensive. The pharmacist can tell you of others.

I notice that some moms suggest lotion. Lotion doesn't hydrate enough. When eczema is uncontrolled, the skin needs a cream. Cream reaches deeper into the skin layers.

Oils have only one ingredient. They may work for mild irritation. They do leave the skin oily which leave oil stains on clothes and bed sheets. Same with Vaseline. Both oils and Vaseline do not soak completely into the skin thus leave a residue.

My daughter used both oils and Vaseline which did not clear up the eczema. The cream did help much more.

Sounds like your son has extensive breakouts which have not responded to home treatment. I suggest you follow the doctor's advice. There are several brands in the form of thick cream, that have similar ingredients. I'm not familiar with cerave. I suggest reading ingredients or asking a pharmacist.

My dermatologist said the cheapest moisturizer is sunflower oil. Really, any oil works, just use what you already have for cooking.

Neutrogena hand cream cured me. Good luck!

I agree with some and disagree with others. Eczema is from allergens. My sons eczema was from the use of Tide laundry detergent when he was a toddler. We tried Eucerin, prescription products and nothing worked. I would not use **Vaseline** because it **has 'petroleum'** in it. Most doctors do not study toxins.

I was introduced to a manufacturer, by a friend who also had eczema and she told me about a lotion called 'Renew'. It had been blind tested alongside Eucerin in one of the coldest parts of Canada. Within 3-days, using the unknown samples, those using Renew saw a difference in 3 days, whereas the Eucerin took more than a week and some showed no signs of improvement. When the test was done and use was discontinued those using Eucerin returned to their original condition whereas the Renew still showed evidence of improvement.

My son now shows no signs as eczema and only uses the product on occasion, maybe once or twice a week. I use the product frequently because I have become about 95% germaphobe and my hands get washed consistently and I can feel evidence of dryness if I don't use the lotion.

I had to join the co-op to purchase, but I was able to change out our laundry detergent, soaps, shampoos and other personal care products that also helped to keep my sons eczema at bay.

Whatever you decide to use, look up the MSDS sheet on the product to see if they are toxic. I love these products because when I called the CDC, I was told I could rely on complete safety of the products.
