hey, i have eczema*, too. i've had it since i was a baby. you can not prevent it but you can reduce the irratation. 40% of children who have eczema* out-grow it by the time they are in their teens. there are itch medicines that can stop the itch for a short period of time. they also have medicines that are ment for eczema. or you can go to your doctor and s/he will give you a presciption for it. it is very bothering and i know it. it will "FLare Up" from taking too hot of a bath. it help if you put moinsturizer on your skin right after you get out of the shower. also if you have dry skin, that will bother it too.
hope i helped.

I have Eczema but mine isnt bad at all. There is no cure for it really unless you go to your doctor and ask him for a special medicine that it will make it go away. ♥

Eczema isn't contagious and causes severe itching. It is often treated with a steroid cream that you can get perscribed from your doctor if you do have it, otherwise the best lotion for overly dry skin is Eucerin.

It is red and looks a bit like hives that last for a while. You can find pictures of it at WebMd.

Eczema* is a noncontiguous inflammation of the skin. Like you said, usually, red and can be itchy. I have it and like you, get it when I'm in extreme cold (or when I go from somewhere hot to somewhere cold). There is no cure for eczema but your doctor can prescribe something to keep it under control. Personally, I use Elidel. It works wonders and within minutes. Ask your doctor about that.

Eczema is a type of chronic rash, I think. A girl in my class has it really bad. She gets a special kind of medicated lotion to put on it, and it stops itching/clears up in a couple of days. If you have eczema, try visiting your doctor and asking him to check it out for you. He can probably prescribe some good medicine for you. I hope this advice helps!
