I don't normally like to spam people with my "stuff" but since you asked, and because eczema is such an incredibly frustrating problem I thought I would leave a link to an article I wrote on naturopathic ideas for eczema. I will be writing more on this so feel free to ask any questions or suggest topics for other related articles. If you have any questions about the elminition diet you can check out my article on that as well or post a comment if you need additional support. http://www.kitchentablemedicine.com/alternative-medicine-solutions-for-eczema-and-other-itchy-skin-problems/ Hi there!

The "elimination diet" she's on seems to be alleviating the symptoms. We're gonna slowly reintroduce other food a few days at a time next week. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I have gotten thosse on my chest and shoulders in the past and I always mashed up a couple Benadryl and mixed it with a hydrocortizone creme. That always brought the hives down. best to your Gramma!

I suspect her flare up was in part due to her increased consumption of dairy products. Last year she suffered from knee problems and was advised to up her calcium intake, which she did by drinking loads of milk and eating lots of cheese. We're giving her current diet another week before slowly reintroducing other food items back. <br /><br /> I don't know about skin thickening but there are "barrier creams" for contact dermatitis that I'm gonna get for her soon. Thanks for your input on this. Thanks, Anya, that’s greatly appreciated. :)
