Have to agree with Jonathan. There's no way to know what remedy works for one person, might work for another. I don't have excema, I have contact dermatitis. But let me tell you it was so catastrophic and traumatic I spent so many nights lost in despair. I had an allergic reaction to something, following a toe implant surgery. The whole top part of foot was something from the twilight zone, horror movie. It itched to the point of madness. I went back to foot surgeon and his associate and my primary and then a dermatologist. None of them helped me. But instead of wrapping it like I was told to do for swelling purposes, I let it breathe and did not wear shoes for three months. I was beside myself with grief. I was told to use ice for the swelling. But keep it wrapped. But I couldn't wrap it. It didn't want anything TOUCHING it. But it tolerated, welcomed actually, soft rags wrapped soaked in ice and ice packs. As I did however, need the ice, for the contact dermatitis. Heat was my enemy. If it got a little warm more blisters came. The foot eventually itched everywhere and the possibility of it moving up the ankle/ leg was scaring the out of me. It spread to the bottom of foot. But just didn't form blisters on the bottom of foot like it did on the top. I sat with an ice bucket on my bed for three months sometimes, 20 hours a day. No benedryl, or topical steroids helped. The ice did. I did finally had to wean myself off the ice. Then the cold water, because the foot got accustomed to the cold. And it still doesn't like to be in a sneaker for too long. From Sept 2017 to Jan 2018 , I suffered but it finally started getting better. It all cleared up, but the recovery was lengthy. Don't give up looking for solutions.
