Eczema remedies

     I get asked about this one a lot even though I am not a suffer of eczema. I came up with short term and long term remedies. They work together to provide immediate relief and long term elimination of the condition.

     In the short term, try coconut butter or oil lotion. Just buy some coconut oil or coconut butter and start applying liberally to the skin. The coconut has a lot of nutrients to nourish the skin and promote healing. Which helps to eliminate the appearance of eczema. You can even take some and massage into the scalp if that is a problem area for you.

     In the long term you should talk to your doctor and have an allergy test done. There are two basic types, the skin prick test and the blood sample test. If you are not fond of needles, go for the blood sample test. This way there is one needle, the blood is removed from the body and sent to a lab for analysis. If you are a masochist, go for the skin prick test. This one is lots of needles and repeated poking, and after your arm or back is very itchy. Then a report is written on what exactly you are allergic to. Then simply avoid the allergens.
