Hi Breezy,
I get exactly the same things you are talking about and the only thing that works for me is a product by Mario Badescu called Control Cream. It is a light green cream that is thick, but not greasy or oily. It is the ONLY thing that allows me to have "normal" skin. Whenever I try to switch to something else, I get the same itchy, red patches after about 3 days. This is also the only thing that will soothe those patches as well. For me, it stops the itching almost instantly. Although it is a thick cream, I have never had a problem with it breaking me out or clogging my pores.
I hate to be dependent on something, but it really is the only thing that works for me.
HTH,
Ali
BTW... you can find Mario Badescu atwww.mariobadescu.com and at Nordstrom.com |

I have something that is AWESOME for this! It's called Alcortin A, and unfortunately it's only available by prescription so you have to ask your derm for a prescrip the next time you see them and then just keep it in the medicine cabinet for times like this, but man does it work wonders!!! Basically it's a hydrocortisone cream that also has anti-bacterial AND anti-fungal ingredients, as well as skin-soothing aloe peptides and skin healing biopeptides. It covers all the bases, so whether you're dealing with eczema, irritation, an allergic reaction, or even something fungal this knocks it right out and heals the skin in record time. It's absolutely fabulous for eczema, cracks on the hands from cold weather, etc. Actually, the first time it was ever prescribed to me was when I had been fighting a really large blemish and had picked at it so much that my poor skin was bruised and swollen. I was instructed to stop all other acne treatments and just use this to heal it up, and I was amazed how quickly this stuff healed my damaged skin. Here's the website for it:

I would definitely recommend for anyone who deals with acne, patches of itchy skin, or eczema to request a prescription for this stuff because it is seriously awesome! |

| I had eczema on the back of my neck. It was scaly, red, itchy. Some days would look and feel better, other days it would be more irritated and itchy. I had it for years before finally booking myself to see a dermatologist. I'm so glad I did. The derm took one look at it and said it's eczema and gave me a topical medication to apply to it. I used the topical cream for about a week and right away it worked. It's been a year and the eczema hasn't come back. |
