Rubbing alcohol is a popular eczema treatment these days. It is cheap and very powerful, which is what sufferers of all skin conditions are looking for.
The problem is that rubbing alcohol is not only effective, but very effective. You need dryer skin if you want to get rid of your eczema. Rubbing alcohol has a drying affect on your skin, but it takes it to the extreme. Your skin will be very, very dry and it will turn red and flaky.
Simply put, rubbing alcohol is not meant to be put on your face, however it is worth a try. There are few proven treatments for eczema and rubbing alcohol has been proven to help some eczema sufferers, which is a plus. Also, you can find rubbing alcohol almost anywhere for less than five dollars. Grocery stores and Walgreens are my favorite places to pick it up.
Give rubbing alcohol a chance to help clear up your eczema but do not expect any major results. Have low expectations and you will not be disappointed.

Yesterday I commented that yogurt was a great natural treatment for eczema, after doing a little research into coconut oil, I have more good news to share!

Coconut oil is one of the 6-8 supplements that seemed to always be hyped up as a cure to almost anything and everything [Green tea, fish oil...], but do not let that fool you. Thousands of eczema sufferers across the world have found that coconut oil helped treat their existing eczema and lessened the likelihood of having new eczema lesions appear.
Why I love coconut oil as a treatment for eczema:
1. It is cheap! You can buy coconut oil online or in a supplement store for around 10 dollars for a large container that should last you 10-20 servings. Less than a dollar per treatment is as cheap as it is going to get in the skin care industry.
2. There are no nasty side effects. Coconut oil is all natural, which means the worst case scenario is that you wasted 10 dollars because the coconut oil did not help your eczema situation, which is rare.
3. Coconut oil is easy to find and apply.
The whole process is a no brain-er. Invest in coconut oil and reap the rewards once you begin to notice your eczema heals quicker and becomes less and less of a problem.

It is true! Select types of yogurt can help to heal and prevent Eczema.
Eczema is unique in that it is fairly severe and widespread, yet there are not many proven cures, treatments, or prevention methods out their. Mild eczema is not too bad, but severe eczema can affect your quality of life.
If you are struggling with Eczema buying [and eating] yogurt with active cultures can be a great, tasty investment. Active cultures in yogurt help your immune system in many ways, including protecting you from damaging toxins. This should not only help treat your existing eczema, but discourage it from popping back up again.
The best part about using yogurt as a treatment for eczema is that it is basically risk free. A serving of yogurt costs no more than 50-75 cents, it is delicious, and a healthy snack. Other treatments can costs hundreds of dollars or have potentially serious side effects.
The next time you go to the grocery store buy yogurt with active cultures, eat a serving of yogurt daily and see if your eczema situation improves. Natural treatments are usually the best, safest, cheapest treatments, this is a great example.
