I'm struggling with pompholyx eczema, finished 4 month course of steroids and now it's flaring up ag

My case was very severe (I spent 2 days in hospital ) I really don't want to take steroids due to the side effects. Does anyone know of any natural remedies I could try?

    Not natural, but Elidel works. It takes a few days to see results but it beats using steroids

    I wish there was a natural remedy. I have researched and tried many things. Nothing worked. My boy is seventeen and has been struggling for three years. 

    now we're trying st.johns wort. 5 weeks. Nothing definitive but I'll post if it works.

    Hey Kate!

    Don't know if these work but I've heard drinking and applying diluted ACV may help as I read in this article

    Other than that, just try as much as you can not to scratch it! I noticed my skin becoming very thick when I did that and it was hard to carry out everyday tasks when that happened
