Best Lotion to use on Eczema
There are many lotions on the market that aim to help your eczema and this blog has covered many of them in the past, but the best lotion to use on Eczema for you might not work for someone else, which is why it’s important to try a few before you find the one that is right for you.
However generally the lotions and creams that people claim have the best results are the following:
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
Doctors usually recommend this lotion first for eczema sufferers because it seems the best tolerated and can be used by both adults and babies. It is oily and messy though, but if you can handle that it will probably work well for you.
TriDerma Intense Fast Healing Cream
This lotion can be used on many different skin conditions from eczema to burns and even pressure sores. It is very gentle and is fast gaining popularity due to the number of people who say they finally had relief after trying this cream.
Sarna Lotion
If the itchiness is driving you up the wall then give Sarna lotion a try as it immediately cools on contact with the skin due to the camphor and methol which relieves the itchiness and burning irritation. They have both a regular version and one for sensitive skin.
Aveeno Products
The Aveeno range of products are pretty good but most people say that using their baby range on themselves (both for babies and adults) is the most soothing. They have really nice bath treatments that help get rid of the itch if you run a lukewarm bath and lie in it for at least 30 minutes.
Dermarest Eczema Medication Lotion
Use the Dermarest for short term relief. It doesn’t seem to get rid of the eczema for very long, but it does help with the inflammation and can clear up any rashes overnight (you just have to keep using it to keep the eczema away).
