This may not work for everyone, but I've gotten some helpful ointments like Clobetasol from dermatologists. But it's a strong ointment and cannot be applied to your face.
It can be hard to find a good doctor because most of them just don't know/care about your problems, take your money and then walk away to see the next sucker -- oops, I mean patient.

I completely agree with you, I'm 16 now and my eczema has definitely gotten worse since puberty and I'm seeing a skin specialist who has decided that I try out UVB light therapy which I really hope will help my skin, maybe the next time you see your doctor (specialist) ask him about light therapy maybe it will help?

I have it on my whole body and it suck's ass! Im actually reserching it because i just had an inflamation on my arms right now and i can't stop itching and i usually itch and it start's to bleed. Im 14 and i do not know what to do im going to see a sermatologist. Plus i have had it since i was born. i ALWAYS wear long sleeves i only wear short sleeves at home because it's usually only my mom home and when it isn't visible during school time. But this has changed my life. :(

...also anyone with moderate ezcema (which is what i have or at least what the doctors tell me) try derma-smoothe/fs, its worked for me since i was 14 and i havent have another breakout for once i'm able to go to the beach and feel comfortable

i have eczema since i was 4 years old and have been dealing with it for a really long time ( i am now 19), the most important thing is to keep moisturized!! you keep moisturized it will prevent breakouts (breakouts at least in eczema are when you get a rash/scabs etc...) wash with unscented soaps, don't take too long in the shower, don't wear itchy fabrics, and most importantly dont scratch! you scratch, you get a rash

Its true. People don't realise how debilitating eczema really is, and that is most likely why nobody has bothered to try and find a cure. :( My eczema stops me from going out with friends, even going shopping! I can't stay at people's places, I can't even get a job because whenever I have an interview they turn me away because of the look of my skin. Some guy called me a 'junkie' the other day (from the spots on my skin.) Fuck you, eczema!

That's actually not true. Most of the time its a genetic problem. I've had mine since I was 6 weeks old. If you know you have an allergy then that will make it worse, yes.

Watch your diet! eczema are mild allergic reaction to food or medications.
