When I was a kid, my parents took me to the beach a lot. Now I have what seems to be flakes on my arms and some on my legs. A dermatologist told me several years ago it was because of sun damage years ago. Sometimes it is sooo itchy, it drives me crazy. I believe it might be considered "exima". Does anyone have any suggestions on a good over the counter relief product?
I have had itchy skin that drives me nuts sometimes?
have you tired aquaphor healing ointment, it has helped with my excema on my arms, but it does nothing for my feet

Reply:It's commonly known as "eczema". Take anti-histamines - Atarac, Zyrtec etc. Apply dermatological moisturisers that do not contain fragrance which may aggravate the itch. You would have to apply such moisturiser at least 3 times a day, or anytime when you feel itchy.
Avoid antigenic food, especially beans, nuts etc.
Reply:I have eczema as well and I use this moisturizer called Kenalog cream.(It really helps stop the itch but make sure it's prescribed by your doctor or dermetalogist).
