I have literally tried every eczema product at the drugstore for my eyelid eczema and the best one is the aveeno baby eczema therapy moisturizing cream. All the others Ive tried have irritated my skin. And putting petroleum jelly on top when the cream dries down makes it even better.
Excuse me for a probably stupid question - when the skin is itching after applying it is not ok and I shouldn’t tolerate this? It’s just it seems everything has such an effect on me and I thought it is always such way :(
At 17:33 thank you for validating that! I took my daughter to a specialist and he mentioned how eczema can ruin a persons whole well being, how it was his childhood struggle which is why he specialized in it. When I mentioned it to my daughter’s pediatrician she laughed at me and said it doesn’t and stared at me like I was an idiot then pretty much said he’s a quack… I left so upset with her cause I know my daughter was miserable day/night!
Thank you for acknowledging your daughter’s struggle and taking the time to look for doctors that hear her concerns as their own ! Keep fighting for her it makes a difference, in her care . You’re not a difficult patient you are holding them accountable for doing their jobs thoroughly!
After the last eczema video, I started using fragrance and dye free body wash instead of scented hand soap and it's really helped my hands clear up so far!
Same! I've been able to control my eczema at home without or with very minimal use of cortisone. Which we all know Cortisone is counteractive because it kind of thins your skin and that's kind of the problem to begin with with your skin.. But in the past I needed it... And I need a prescription strength now I'm able to control the flare-ups with over the counter products. It's a game changer and I really feel like sticking to simple fragrance free products that are not gimmicky really saved my skin and my wallet. Thank you Dr. Dray!
As someone who’s had Eczema for 14 years now, on my lower legs & ankles, sometimes you NEED to go to your doctor and get a prescription. Mine was so bad & so horribly Itchy, I had to get Elocon Ointment for it. Used twice a day, that actually cleared it right up in about two weeks. I tried many over the counter remedies & none of them worked. The prescription Ointment was a necessity for me.😉
I saw a post on Facebook, and this woman complained that her skin is very itchy after leaving the shower... I explained it was her skin barrier and suggested Aveeno balm. I also told her to follow you here on YT.. You're so educated on these matters and have helped so many of us. This is a great video for me... I used most of the products you've suggested and my skin is lovely once again... The winter is coming and this is very tough on my skin... Thanks Dr Dray... You rule 💖 P.S.

As someone who had atopic eczema throughout my entire life, I swear by the vaseline intensive care lotion. Their products are my holy grail even in the "better" months.
@@Anonymoose66G ive tried Vaseline and my skin is so sensitive if caused milia and under the skin whiteheads im sad because its such a cheap moisturizing product
@@Anonymoose66G pebbie was talking about the Intensive care lotion, prolly the fragrance free one, not the petroleum jelly. Also I think you mean occlusive not humectant.
SAME. I am trying to cut down on Vaseline BUT Vaseline chapstick is a holly grail for me. I make sure I avoid fragrance on my skin... especially in the two spots I'm most valuable... hands and lips.
We’ve tried quite a few, and for my son and I the Gold Bond works best. It’s got 2% colloidal oatmeal vs many products only having 1%. I can’t say for sure, but maybe that’s why.
Dr. Dray thank you for this video. I have been dealing with severe atopic dermatitis due to severe allergies which started when I reached menopause. For some reason I cannot tolerate occlusive like Vaseline even when I am flaring up. My problem is on my neck and hands. It is very painful and life disturbing. This video definitely helps. Thank you for all the suggestions. Have a great day.
I used the Gold Bond Eczema on my face (I have rosacea). It's nice. I have also used the Eucerin Eczema Relief, it's good too. Very soothing. I also use kids or baby mineral sunscreens, like Banana Boat Kids/Baby or Cerave Baby.
I don't have eczema but I know these tips will still be beneficial to me, especially in the Winter when my skin becomes drier. Thanks, Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💚
You aren’t wrong when you say Urea can make a flare up sting. I had a spot flare up that also is in the same place as my KP. I put the Cetaphil Urea cream on it thinking it would help, NOPE. Stung like crazy and made the flare up worse. Works great on KP tho as long as you aren’t having an eczema flare up lol.
Thank you as always for caring so much to educate us- my friend just had her 20th surgery to remove many skin lesions and have biopsies and she is addicted to going in the sun. I wish she would watch you, 💜💜💜
@@DrDrayzday I have scaly and itchy skin, I’m not sure if it’s eczema or ichthyosis vulgaris? How will I know? And what do you recommend that I use? Thank you.
Thank you so so much for putting this out! Just this morning, I was going through watching all of your eczema videos because with the weather changes and pregnancy, my skin has completely flipped out with what looks like a topic dermatitis. I was using some Vichy Products before… with fragrance and alcohol! My skin was really happy for quite a while with them but now, I can’t put them near my face! Sad because I just restocked things but you know, you got to do what you Gotta do. So I decided to pick up the Eucerin skin calming cream and their advanced cleansing body and face wash. Just this morning I went and got the Cerave ointment also. The first flareup I had was after using A&D ointment around on my face. It contains lanolin and fragrance… Then I had issues with fragrance products after that, so I believe I have been sensitized to fragrance now. Also, using some oil based skin care products did not help but made issues worse leading up to my second flareup. I am due with my baby in about a month, so I’m really hoping I can clear this up and keep it clear. I’m just planning to use what clears it up and keep using it for these winter months. It’s been hard forsaking all cosmetics in the meantime, but it is what it is!
Thank you! With my husband we also look for the seal of the eczema society so far all their options have been safe to us. Finding shampoo for it was hard since my husband has ezcema and psoriasis on his scalp 😅
@@marissalyn yes he uses T gel therapeutic shampoo and Dermarest psoriasis, both keep his scalp healthy without flare ups in years but he also has a bald spot due the long term psoriasis and Dermatologist said even if it's healthy now the bald will stay since the skin got scarred.
have you tried applying a light layer of lotion to the scalp? one thing i do when i experience itch is a very, very light layer of moisturizer! Function of Beauty also allows fragrance free options, which cut down on a lot of irritation. You could look into Dove Scalp Care line as well (: Maybe a colloidal oatmeal soak too!
I am learning so much on this chanel. I have been to a dermatologist twice in 1,5 years. First time he said 'remove your cats, that's the origine/cause probably'.. 2nd time his answer was a little more professional and helpfull. I did get a creme with urea, very stingy in the beginning, but it does take away the itch after 15 minutes... effect doesn't last hours unfortunately. Tried a couple of lotions (eucerin, vaseline.. but most make me itchy after an hour, like it's too slick). I hate showering because its always itchy (too cold, too warm.. finding that sweet spot is hard) but I might try do it more often to get rid of the dried up skin before going to bed and just scratching whole night long. Thank you so much!
Thanks to your ongoing education, i recognized really early that my eczema is trying to flare again after about 20 years in remission! Ive been taling oat baths and using cerave anti itch on the patch. It seems to be going back under control (no visible signs, only a mild occasional itch in THE spot) but after an incident where my face barrier got damaged, im on an october reset to make sure im not over loading my skin!
@@21972012145525wish I knew, I am 53 now. I guess it's been more like 17 years, I remember it cleared up in about 2006 & then I realized years later that it had not come back. My doc suspected a stress trigger but I did not really make any major lifestyle changes at that time, so I have no idea why it went away or why it feels like it is trying to come back.
I have atopic eczema for six months a year during the cold season since I was born, I thought cold was a common if not the main cause for it, but I never hear talk about it in skincare videos...I am also allergic to wool, which makes the winter a bit complicated 😅 It is mainly on the limbs and the scalp though, suprisingly my face skin is very resilient.
Excellent coverage Dr. Dray. I am suffering from frequent hives, periodic spouts of atopic dermatitis, and dryness of eczema on my hands and arms. This video covered so much for me and gave lots of perspective. I am pretty much a fan of CeraVe/Eucerin/Aquaphor products. Keep these coming Dr. Dray! Me and my Esthetics Students follow and watch your videos.
I'm so happy I have come across your channel, Dr. Dray. I've been suffering from Atopic Dermatitis since birth and I've met a lot of dermatologist who only made it worst due to recommending steroid creams. Thank you for recommending these products! I have to save enough money to buy a few.
I've been using Banana Boat sensitive mineral sunscreen (also labeled Kids or Baby sunscreen, same ingredients) for many years, yes it leaves a bit of a cast but I can deal with it fine, it is the only one that is super affordable and also feels great with my sensitive dry skin
I moved back to the Midwest from the south and my eczema started to flare up again during the winters. I have used Lubiderm lotion for decades and it works wonders!! I'm surprised she didn't recommend that brand.
The Aveeno anti-itch balm with Pramoxine really messed up my skin barrier. I'm afraid to touch anything with Pramoxine now, especially since the marketing behind Aveeno's products hinges on gentleness to the skin. For people in the UK, I understand Cetraben and Diprobase are their go-to products. I have both of them and they're definitely very gentle on the skin.
Thank goodness for topical steroid creams. Last winter when my teen son had a bad eczema out break on his hands, that cream cleared it up almost immediately. We keep it on hand ( there's another skin pun). Thanks for the video, Happy Tuesday 🌞🏵️
really be careful to not use any topical steroid creams for longer then prescribed and not too often (only if there's really no other way and the eczema is very bad) or else your son can develope something called TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) which can be even worse than having eczema flare ups. i went through it once after using steroids for months with breaks inbetween (doctors kept prescribing me those creams) and after getting off of steroids my eczema that i usually only get on my hands and face started spreading all across my body and my whole body felt like it was on fire and it was one of the worst things i went through with my skin. just wanting to spread awareness and hope this helps!
@@mvocado Oh no 😱 Sorry you went through that. My son hasn't had any out breaks since last winter, hopefully he'll be spared this go around. Wishing you continued clear healthy skin. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated 🌞🙏
Exact same situation with me! Everyone claimed it was the best solution, but my skin could not tolerate it. The only thing i can tolerate is Vanicream, and boy, did it make a huge difference.
Vinegar and water rinse. 1 part to 10 parts. Has always helped me. I have ez around my hair line. I use the rinse(while in the shower) and Cortizones ez lotion after, put on while my skin in wet. This has been my go to for years now.
I've recently been diagnosed with eczema on my chest. For some reason all aveeno products kind of burn/sting when I put them on it. So I've moved to using cerave renewing night moisturizer cream instead (for those that are on s strict budget like myself the walgreens version of this is just as good but hard to find).
@marissalyn I actually edited my comment. I meant to say the cerave "renewing" night cream. I'm old 43 and need the thicker jar stuff lol. But I know for some the pm lotion is enough.
I am using a DAC basic cream (standard basis in germany for lipid balancing creams in germany) based 8% urea cream produced by my local pharamacy on demand. When applying it my skin stays moist for 12 - 24h. Compared to regular products with a lot more ingredients but also with similar urea content it produces much better results. I might try oatmeal.
My son has eczema he went to the dermatologist, and the cream they gave him seems to make it look redder and more inflamed. I suggested Cerave healing ointment and gold bond eczema to keep it moisturized. It comes and goes. Thanks Dr. Dray for all your help understanding these conditions.
😂😂oh oh oh the scratch don't get me tempted i use the gauze wrap technique on my forearms and the gloves tip really helps a lot ❤✌. Balms and ointments help as well i used la roche posay lipikar AP+M the thick version of it not the light one and man it helped me a lot alongside with aveeno daily emmolient wash dermexa. Thanks for the eczema info and tips Doctor Andrea it really means a lot for us who are afflicted by it. It gives us courage and motivation to keep on fighting and not to be ashamed for having eczema 😊❤.
I’m suffering from moderate to severe eczema and currently avoiding dupixent so I can be patch tested first. I’d love to hear your favorite moisturizers and cleansers below. Mine are: -Nivea sensitive and radiant lotion -aveeno baby lotion -eucerin calming cream -Chinese herbal cream that I truly don’t know what’s inside. I’m terrified of how well it works and scared of it Sometimes I will layer on top with straight mineral oil.
Hi Jackie! Happy Tuesday!! I hope you had a wonderful day. I'm loving the cooler nights and my kitties love having the windows open. How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

I have this red inflammatory lesion that has been biopsied several times . One time they said it was actinic Keratosis and gave me that chemotherapy fluorocil cream and i got a bad reaction. Ever since then… that area has been inflamed again, biopsied again and now the pathology says its non-specific. Thank god for concealer. One cosmetic dermatologist wanted to laser it but the differential diagnosis says it may inflame further and another derm said it won’t. I don’t know who to believe. Thank god for concealer. 😌
thanks for the video dr dray!! i hope one day you make a video about uncommon areas that eczema develops at i recently developed seborrheic dermatitis/eczema on my ears and also behind my ears and I don’t see many talk about it!!
Sometimes staying brand loyal gets you functional packaging and delivery of product. So many times Ive bought store brand and the pump won't function or the flip cap is brittle and cracks off. Just my experience 😊 Danya
❤❤❤Thank you do much your the best! You have told and help us even more then my son’s doctors omg. So my son has eczema since he was a newborn 17 years ago, he uses all the Aveeno products and Vaseline under his medication ointments. And now thanks to you he uses the pimple patch. He also uses Dove soap but I believe he (we all) shouldn’t because I don’t think that’s a great soap. I’m thinking he should try CearaV or vincare also try goldbond lotion. In the past other lotions absolutely did not work. Lately he has lots of scratches where many are open cuts, on his legs and arms. He scratches when he’s sleeping. Sunscreen is still difficult to find and he doesn’t like them. My little god son now has eczema as well, so I sent his mom this video. We never knew about some of these tips, I wish I knew long before.
would you mind sharing what exact products your're using from both brands that helps with your skin? i'm currently using the cerave lotion but it seems to not be moisturizing enough for my skin and i also use a eucerin hand wash oil which i really like but i'm looking for other products to try :)
Happy Tuesday! I struggle with eczema especially on the scalp and ear area. I am interested in trying the Ginger beer Shampoo that you mentioned in your September favorites. However, I am currently using the Ketoconazole 2% prescription shampoo. I will then apply a second shampoo on my scalp. Do you think it will be a conflict to use the Ginger Beer as my follow up shampoo after Ketoconazole?
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Informative🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
Never had eczema in my life until now at 50 and I suspect is hormonal related . Anyway, lathering myself in moisturizers and steroids for way to long so I tried the baby diaper rash cream , the white stuff😂. Works like a charm I can’t believe it, I was suffering for a whole year and the solution was so simple 😡.
I have been having a hard time with eyelid dermatitis. I would love to see an updated video on this, Dr. Dray. Also, if I put any type of ointment (petrolatum, Cerave Healing ointment) on my lids, they get itchy and swollen. It makes no sense!!
Try spraying your lids with Avenova hypochlorus soray. It works waaaaay better than all the other hypochlorus sprays. It has no preservatives so it only lasts 28 days but it’s a life changer for me.
Vanicream sunscreen is the only sunscreen that doesn't bother me. Even the laroche posay and Elta bother me. Also the laroche posay miscellar sent my eczema into overdrive.
Dr Dray, do you have any suggestions for those going thru Taxotere Chemo for Prostate Cancer in an 82 yr old male. Hair loss aside, I understand the skin barrier will be tender, & there will be nail/cuticle issues. I've read to use gentle cleansers like Baby Shampoo, use a body Moisturizer & Vaseline use around the cuticles & lips. Are there any add'l/better suggestions? Many thanks!
sadly we don't have most of these in europe or at least in my country so it's always a struggle for me to find the right products.. currently looking for a good body wash that's not too drying and still cleans my skin well and i also experience lots of keratosis pilaris bumps on top of my knees so i'm definitely gonna look out for your recommendations and hope they're also available here. either way thank you so much for this video!
Needed this video. I don’t have eczema but my boyfriend has it extremely bad (and the awful products he uses doesn’t make it any better, but that’s neither here nor there lol) I’ve been eyeing Gold Bond & Aveeno lotions and balms. Does anyone else have any more recommendations? I’d love to here some eczema body care routines. ❤
My favorites are: Nivea sensitive & radiant LOTION, aveeno baby LOTION, and eucerin calming cream. I use the gold bond sometimes I like it too but haven’t used it extensively to recommend it yet
My last derm about 10 years ago told me not much can be done but steroids and antibiotics. I've been in a perpetual flare up for the past couple years (think when I started wearing moisture wicking clothes) and I sleep 4-6 hours a night. Seriously considering finding a new dermatologist with new ideas. 🤔 I will say that my skin is slowly improving now that I'm switching over to cotton clothes.
A very timely video. I just had a flare up of atopic dermatitis on my face, including eyelids, following peri oral dermatitis. Was not pleasant. Can antidanfruff shampoos be used on targeted areas of face ie around nostrils & mouth for malezzia? Thanks for all the education you give us😊
Weirdly the aveeno baby balm burned my eyelid dermatitis. Like straight fire. Thankfully the cerave healing ointment is super gentle and soothing for me
Hi Dr Dray can I ask you for advice? What can I do for the irch in the canal of your ear? it itches and makes me crazy. I have seborrheic dermatitis, controlled in the skin and scalp, more or less, but inside the ears what can be done? please 🙏
My Dad had dyshidrotic eczema on his feet and after watching Dr. Dray's video I told him to ask his doc about trying prescription urea lotion. He was already using antibiotic ointments and prescription hydrocortisone cream. The urea helped him sooo much. But like Dr. Dray says everyone's body is different and everyone's body reacts different. But it could be something to ask your doc about.
Gold Bond uses strong ingredients which led to my eczema prone hands so them having one for an eczema product would be counter productive for me. Can you recommend others? I saw that you recommended CeraVe which I appreciate.
I love that baby Aveeno tub for around my nose and under my eye like more on the upper and side cheeks, it just doesn’t it for me after I apply all my night time products and let them dry and set in if that makes sense.
@drdray please give a quick yes or no to using tallow for skin care. I think you would be against it. A blogger states it has sebum as a good thing, but isn’t that’s what causes problems in our own skin. The pros people list are compelling to convince keto community. My friend wants us to make it for her. I went looking for your opinion.
I love tallow for my skin. I have suffered from eczema for 50 years and have tried it all. I wish I found tallow so long ago. Very healing for my skin.
I get a lot of skin buildup on my legs that only goes away if I use a scrub so I have to wash my legs. I prefer sugar scrubs since they are gentler and more moisturizing.
If I am using an ointment or cream for eczema (CeraVe, Aquaphor etc.) and also an anti-itch product like Pramoxine, in what order should they be applied?
I have scaly skin that tends to become itchy now that we are approaching the cold season. Is that eczema too? Or ichthyosis vulgaris? How will I know if I have both and what do you recommend that I use? Thank you.
For some reason the only thing that recently cleared my seb derm was a tanning moisturizer called Jergens Natural glow. I wanted to fix my hypopigmentation due to seb derm and while using the moisturizer it helped with my eczema. Idk why because looking back on it, it probably had a lot of ingredients that aren’t suitable for dermatitis. Is it bad to continue using? Any downsides to that specific brand ?
@drdayzday I have eczema that isn’t necessarily flared but it’s still pink and a little rough. I would like to wear sunscreen but chemical sunscreen stings and itches. I will use mineral sunscreen. My question is if I can wear a tinted mineral sunscreen so it evens out my skin time and makes it even less likely to show white cast. Thank you!
I have literally tried every eczema product at the drugstore for my eyelid eczema and the best one is the aveeno baby eczema therapy moisturizing cream. All the others Ive tried have irritated my skin. And putting petroleum jelly on top when the cream dries down makes it even better.
life saver thank you for sharing!!

It seems to be going back under control (no visible signs, only a mild occasional itch in THE spot) but after an incident where my face barrier got damaged, im on an october reset to make sure im not over loading my skin!
Did you came back to masturbation? That´s the cause.
How did it go into remission? How old are you
@@21972012145525wish I knew, I am 53 now. I guess it's been more like 17 years, I remember it cleared up in about 2006 & then I realized years later that it had not come back. My doc suspected a stress trigger but I did not really make any major lifestyle changes at that time, so I have no idea why it went away or why it feels like it is trying to come back.
I have atopic eczema for six months a year during the cold season since I was born, I thought cold was a common if not the main cause for it, but I never hear talk about it in skincare videos...I am also allergic to wool, which makes the winter a bit complicated 😅
It is mainly on the limbs and the scalp though, suprisingly my face skin is very resilient.
Hi Dr. Drey! Can you please do a thorough skincare video like this for people with psoriasis? Thank you!
Excellent coverage Dr. Dray. I am suffering from frequent hives, periodic spouts of atopic dermatitis, and dryness of eczema on my hands and arms. This video covered so much for me and gave lots of perspective. I am pretty much a fan of CeraVe/Eucerin/Aquaphor products. Keep these coming Dr. Dray! Me and my Esthetics Students follow and watch your videos.
I'm so happy I have come across your channel, Dr. Dray. I've been suffering from Atopic Dermatitis since birth and I've met a lot of dermatologist who only made it worst due to recommending steroid creams.
Thank you for recommending these products! I have to save enough money to buy a few.
Thanks for producing this content! I wish I had this information when I was a teenager.
I've been using Banana Boat sensitive mineral sunscreen (also labeled Kids or Baby sunscreen, same ingredients) for many years, yes it leaves a bit of a cast but I can deal with it fine, it is the only one that is super affordable and also feels great with my sensitive dry skin
I moved back to the Midwest from the south and my eczema started to flare up again during the winters. I have used Lubiderm lotion for decades and it works wonders!! I'm surprised she didn't recommend that brand.
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤
Yay Walgreens👍
happy tuesday

The Aveeno anti-itch balm with Pramoxine really messed up my skin barrier. I'm afraid to touch anything with Pramoxine now, especially since the marketing behind Aveeno's products hinges on gentleness to the skin.
For people in the UK, I understand Cetraben and Diprobase are their go-to products. I have both of them and they're definitely very gentle on the skin.
Thank goodness for topical steroid creams. Last winter when my teen son had a bad eczema out break on his hands, that cream cleared it up almost immediately. We keep it on hand ( there's another skin pun). Thanks for the video, Happy Tuesday 🌞🏵️
really be careful to not use any topical steroid creams for longer then prescribed and not too often (only if there's really no other way and the eczema is very bad) or else your son can develope something called TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) which can be even worse than having eczema flare ups. i went through it once after using steroids for months with breaks inbetween (doctors kept prescribing me those creams) and after getting off of steroids my eczema that i usually only get on my hands and face started spreading all across my body and my whole body felt like it was on fire and it was one of the worst things i went through with my skin. just wanting to spread awareness and hope this helps!
@@mvocado Oh no 😱 Sorry you went through that. My son hasn't had any out breaks since last winter, hopefully he'll be spared this go around. Wishing you continued clear healthy skin. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated 🌞🙏
Thank you Dr Dray! Since moving to Las Vegas my eczema has unfortunately returned. I really appreciate all your great advice.
I used colloidal oatmeal for months and found out the hard way that it was what I was partially allergic to and it was making my eczema worse. 😅
Yes this is the big problem with eczema. You literally are struggling to find the root cause
Exact same situation with me!
Everyone claimed it was the best solution, but my skin could not tolerate it.
The only thing i can tolerate is Vanicream, and boy, did it make a huge difference.
Meeee to!
Vinegar and water rinse. 1 part to 10 parts. Has always helped me. I have ez around my hair line. I use the rinse(while in the shower) and Cortizones ez lotion after, put on while my skin in wet. This has been my go to for years now.
I've recently been diagnosed with eczema on my chest. For some reason all aveeno products kind of burn/sting when I put them on it. So I've moved to using cerave renewing night moisturizer cream instead (for those that are on s strict budget like myself the walgreens version of this is just as good but hard to find).
I second that CeraVe pm it’s so good
@marissalyn I actually edited my comment. I meant to say the cerave "renewing" night cream. I'm old 43 and need the thicker jar stuff lol. But I know for some the pm lotion is enough.
@@sarahcarnithan6771that one is definitely the best of them all, I too need a thicker cream
I am using a DAC basic cream (standard basis in germany for lipid balancing creams in germany) based 8% urea cream produced by my local pharamacy on demand. When applying it my skin stays moist for 12 - 24h. Compared to regular products with a lot more ingredients but also with similar urea content it produces much better results. I might try oatmeal.
That sounds nice.
Yes! Really needed this video . THANK YOU Dr Dray.
My son has eczema he went to the dermatologist, and the cream they gave him seems to make it look redder and more inflamed. I suggested Cerave healing ointment and gold bond eczema to keep it moisturized. It comes and goes. Thanks Dr. Dray for all your help understanding these conditions.
What was it? Some creams work asap some take time
😂😂oh oh oh the scratch don't get me tempted i use the gauze wrap technique on my forearms and the gloves tip really helps a lot ❤✌. Balms and ointments help as well i used la roche posay lipikar AP+M the thick version of it not the light one and man it helped me a lot alongside with aveeno daily emmolient wash dermexa. Thanks for the eczema info and tips Doctor Andrea it really means a lot for us who are afflicted by it. It gives us courage and motivation to keep on fighting and not to be ashamed for having eczema 😊❤.
We don’t have the wash here. Unless it goes by a different name
I’m suffering from moderate to severe eczema and currently avoiding dupixent so I can be patch tested first. I’d love to hear your favorite moisturizers and cleansers below. Mine are:
-Nivea sensitive and radiant lotion
-aveeno baby lotion
-eucerin calming cream
-Chinese herbal cream that I truly don’t know what’s inside. I’m terrified of how well it works and scared of it
Sometimes I will layer on top with straight mineral oil.
Thank You Dr. Dray!😊

Happy Tuesday dr dray xx
Morning!
Hi dr. Dray! ❤❤ thanks for the video!
I have this red inflammatory lesion that has been biopsied several times . One time they said it was actinic Keratosis and gave me that chemotherapy fluorocil cream and i got a bad reaction. Ever since then… that area has been inflamed again, biopsied again and now the pathology says its non-specific. Thank god for concealer. One cosmetic dermatologist wanted to laser it but the differential diagnosis says it may inflame further and another derm said it won’t. I don’t know who to believe. Thank god for concealer. 😌
Thank you for more great information! 🥰
thanks for watching
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray ❤
Same to you!
Thank you as always!!! 😊
thanks for watching
Thank you for the recommendations!
thanks for the video dr dray!!
i hope one day you make a video about uncommon areas that eczema develops at
i recently developed seborrheic dermatitis/eczema on my ears and also behind my ears and I don’t see many talk about it!!
In the meantime, you can check with your doctor or the national eczema association site which has articles on this.
Yes this happened to me. Try anti dandruff shampoo from vanicream
Sometimes staying brand loyal gets you functional packaging and delivery of product.
So many times Ive bought store brand and the pump won't function or the flip cap is brittle and cracks off. Just my experience 😊
Danya
That happens to me a lot with equate. Then I have to screw off the top to use 😅
Dr, Dray how’d you know I was struggling badly with eczema right now thank you for the video!
❤❤❤Thank you do much your the best! You have told and help us even more then my son’s doctors omg. So my son has eczema since he was a newborn 17 years ago, he uses all the Aveeno products and Vaseline under his medication ointments. And now thanks to you he uses the pimple patch. He also uses Dove soap but I believe he (we all) shouldn’t because I don’t think that’s a great soap. I’m thinking he should try CearaV or vincare also try goldbond lotion. In the past other lotions absolutely did not work. Lately he has lots of scratches where many are open cuts, on his legs and arms. He scratches when he’s sleeping. Sunscreen is still difficult to find and he doesn’t like them. My little god son now has eczema as well, so I sent his mom this video. We never knew about some of these tips, I wish I knew long before.
I swear by cerave and eucerin. They have been a lifesaver for my skin,especially in winter.
would you mind sharing what exact products your're using from both brands that helps with your skin? i'm currently using the cerave lotion but it seems to not be moisturizing enough for my skin and i also use a eucerin hand wash oil which i really like but i'm looking for other products to try :)
Hi Dr Dray. I have severe eczema on my scalp and can't find a shampoo and conditioner that won't irritate it more.
Have you checked her videos on scalp eczema? The vanicream free and clear shampoo and conditioner has been recommended on some dermatology channels.
@@db-gb5xi thank you. I will try these.
Happy Tuesday guys
happy tuesday
🖐😊
Thanks. I'll try some of this advice.
Happy Tuesday! I struggle with eczema especially on the scalp and ear area. I am interested in trying the Ginger beer Shampoo that you mentioned in your September favorites. However, I am currently using the Ketoconazole 2% prescription shampoo. I will then apply a second shampoo on my scalp. Do you think it will be a conflict to use the Ginger Beer as my follow up shampoo after Ketoconazole?
Greetings Theresa Berg hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
Happy Tuesday to you Whitney!😊@@whitneybrown4067
Why do you do a second shampoo? Why not just alternate?

Never had eczema in my life until now at 50 and I suspect is hormonal related . Anyway, lathering myself in moisturizers and steroids for way to long so I tried the baby diaper rash cream , the white stuff😂. Works like a charm I can’t believe it, I was suffering for a whole year and the solution was so simple 😡.
I’m having the same issue. How many times per day do you apply it, and how long did it take to see results? Do you still use moisturizer with it?
I have been having a hard time with eyelid dermatitis. I would love to see an updated video on this, Dr. Dray. Also, if I put any type of ointment (petrolatum, Cerave Healing ointment) on my lids, they get itchy and swollen. It makes no sense!!
Blepharitis? What gave you tried so far?
Try spraying your lids with Avenova hypochlorus soray. It works waaaaay better than all the other hypochlorus sprays. It has no preservatives so it only lasts 28 days but it’s a life changer for me.
Could you please do a video on tallow based skincare? 🙏 I’ve been hearing lots of people talk about it, and not sure whether it’s worth trying or not.
I also swear by vaseline lotions heals it up completely and keeps it from flaring
I have eczema and Aveeno is like fuel for a fire! Cetaphil is my go too.
I really needed this video, could you please do for babies?
Have you checked with your pediatrician?
Second for baby eczema
Aron Regimen! Absolutely saved my son!
@@emmelyn6378 that still utilized steroids
@@emmelyn6378 I believe? Can you remind me the steps?
Vanicream sunscreen is the only sunscreen that doesn't bother me. Even the laroche posay and Elta bother me. Also the laroche posay miscellar sent my eczema into overdrive.
I love the gold bond eczema cream
Dr Dray, do you have any suggestions for those going thru Taxotere Chemo for Prostate Cancer in an 82 yr old male. Hair loss aside, I understand the skin barrier will be tender, & there will be nail/cuticle issues. I've read to use gentle cleansers like Baby Shampoo, use a body Moisturizer & Vaseline use around the cuticles & lips.
Are there any add'l/better suggestions? Many thanks!
I think she has a video on this
I love you thank you so much for everything you do!!!! I hope because of you 😭❤️
sadly we don't have most of these in europe or at least in my country so it's always a struggle for me to find the right products.. currently looking for a good body wash that's not too drying and still cleans my skin well and i also experience lots of keratosis pilaris bumps on top of my knees so i'm definitely gonna look out for your recommendations and hope they're also available here. either way thank you so much for this video!
Hi Doc, please talk about Crisaborole and treatment for eye eczema 🙏
Blepheritis?
Needed this video. I don’t have eczema but my boyfriend has it extremely bad (and the awful products he uses doesn’t make it any better, but that’s neither here nor there lol) I’ve been eyeing Gold Bond & Aveeno lotions and balms. Does anyone else have any more recommendations? I’d love to here some eczema body care routines. ❤
My favorites are: Nivea sensitive & radiant LOTION, aveeno baby LOTION, and eucerin calming cream.
I use the gold bond sometimes I like it too but haven’t used it extensively to recommend it yet
The Gold Bond eczema relief lotion is great!
My last derm about 10 years ago told me not much can be done but steroids and antibiotics. I've been in a perpetual flare up for the past couple years (think when I started wearing moisture wicking clothes) and I sleep 4-6 hours a night. Seriously considering finding a new dermatologist with new ideas. 🤔 I will say that my skin is slowly improving now that I'm switching over to cotton clothes.
Good Morning, Dr. Dray ❤. Happy Tuesday
Morning!
A very timely video. I just had a flare up of atopic dermatitis on my face, including eyelids, following peri oral dermatitis. Was not pleasant.
Can antidanfruff shampoos be used on targeted areas of face ie around nostrils & mouth for malezzia? Thanks for all the education you give us😊
She’s said you can use them on the face in other videos.
@@Hemmyii Thank you!
Thank you. I have the piolaris stuff on my arms. Had it my entire life and never able to get rid of it.
Weirdly the aveeno baby balm burned my eyelid dermatitis. Like straight fire. Thankfully the cerave healing ointment is super gentle and soothing for me
Yeah I find that is a great moisturizer but I’ve never tolerated it on an active dermatitis spot
I have never clicked on a video so fast 😄
thanks for watching
Hi Dr Dray can I ask you for advice? What can I do for the irch in the canal of your ear? it itches and makes me crazy. I have seborrheic dermatitis, controlled in the skin and scalp, more or less, but inside the ears what can be done? please 🙏
Hey Dr. Dray, do you have any advice for stress related dyshidrosis on palms and fingers (other than be less stressed! Lol)
see my video on hand eczema (linked in description box)
My Dad had dyshidrotic eczema on his feet and after watching Dr. Dray's video I told him to ask his doc about trying prescription urea lotion. He was already using antibiotic ointments and prescription hydrocortisone cream. The urea helped him sooo much. But like Dr. Dray says everyone's body is different and everyone's body reacts different. But it could be something to ask your doc about.
@@sarahcarnithan6771what was the name of the rx urea lotion? And strength?
Dr Dray. Have you ever done a video on Psoriasis? Dot
Gold Bond uses strong ingredients which led to my eczema prone hands so them having one for an eczema product would be counter productive for me. Can you recommend others? I saw that you recommended CeraVe which I appreciate.
Good tips. I wear socks at night to keep from scratching.❤
I love that baby Aveeno tub for around my nose and under my eye like more on the upper and side cheeks, it just doesn’t it for me after I apply all my night time products and let them dry and set in if that makes sense.
The aquation soothing body lotion is the only thing that works against my excema flares and I found it at the DOLLAR TREE❤
@drdray please give a quick yes or no to using tallow for skin care. I think you would be against it. A blogger states it has sebum as a good thing, but isn’t that’s what causes problems in our own skin. The pros people list are compelling to convince keto community. My friend wants us to make it for her. I went looking for your opinion.
I love tallow for my skin. I have suffered from eczema for 50 years and have tried it all. I wish I found tallow so long ago. Very healing for my skin.
Aveeno Eczema Therapy Line has truly help reduce my itch.
Thank you 😊😊😊
I use Dermal very dry skin cream and it's been amazing for my facial eczema
Where do you purchase?
I get a lot of skin buildup on my legs that only goes away if I use a scrub so I have to wash my legs. I prefer sugar scrubs since they are gentler and more moisturizing.
Try urea, aha, or bha in moisturizers
If I am using an ointment or cream for eczema (CeraVe, Aquaphor etc.) and also an anti-itch product like Pramoxine, in what order should they be applied?
I have scaly skin that tends to become itchy now that we are approaching the cold season. Is that eczema too? Or ichthyosis vulgaris? How will I know if I have
both and what do you recommend that I use? Thank you.
Castor oil and Vaseline treated my eczema.
For some reason the only thing that recently cleared my seb derm was a tanning moisturizer called Jergens Natural glow. I wanted to fix my hypopigmentation due to seb derm and while using the moisturizer it helped with my eczema. Idk why because looking back on it, it probably had a lot of ingredients that aren’t suitable for dermatitis. Is it bad to continue using? Any downsides to that specific brand ?
Hi dr dray please can you review the new Inkey List tripeptide plumping lip balm?
Thank you!!!
Would love some extra advice for those of us with eczema and acne and malassezia together. Eeeep.
I don’t have that (as far as I know) I would suggest benzoyl peroxide cleanser. Acne free has a good one at 2.5% and is fragrance free
I hope I get coal tar in my stocking this year
lol
@drdayzday I have eczema that isn’t necessarily flared but it’s still pink and a little rough. I would like to wear sunscreen but chemical sunscreen stings and itches. I will use mineral sunscreen. My question is if I can wear a tinted mineral sunscreen so it evens out my skin time and makes it even less likely to show white cast. Thank you!
Walgreens has an icthammol ointment. It’s by first aid
