Until 6-8 months ago when the ezcema really attacked his hands the Westcort
Cream 0.2% always worked. However, by the time I noticed it (Alex had failed
to mention it) his hands were BAD. Hurt me to look at them.

I then tried my Elidel (which didn't work on my eyelids) that the GP put me
on. Then I tried the Pandel that the dermatologist gave me. We were also
soaking his hands twice daily for approx 20 min. Tried the Bag Balm and that
seemed to be helping but day 5-6 his hands turned lobster red and he said
they really hurt.

Over the summer I've been a bit lax on the supplements. He hasn't really
been getting his L-Cystine which is major for skin repair. Been a bit better
about the EFA's, natural E, Vit B complex, Vit C with Co-Q10. There are a
few others that I've not been pushing this summer either. Don't ask me why.

What's that called? Have you had some success with it other times?

I REALLY hate using steriod creams, esp on Alex's hands. Not so crazy about
slapping it on my eyelids either. :0(   But when it flairs up they swell,
welt and itch like crazy.
