"I have chronic atopic contact eczema and have been prescribed prednisone and triamcinolone. Because of the steroidal side effects, I was given the lowest possible amount in mg for the oral (prednisone) and the topical cream, which I take once every other day. On the other days, I use ammonium lactate to alleviate the itchiness. So far, it seems to be working."

Ammonium lactate topical "I've had eczema on my hips for the past 22 years. You can imagine what it's like to wear jeans and how uncomfortable it is to simply shower. Most of the creams out there suggested for eczema I have tried. Until recently, my top two were Vaseline unscented and CeraVe moisturizing cream. Those did a nice job but never really chased the itch for more than a couple of hours, nor the dry, patchy skin. AmLactin stops the itch almost immediately, and as long as I use it at least once a day, the itch barely ever returns. Sometimes I can even skip a day. AmLactin is my Holy Grail for my eczema. And the skin on my hands is just so soft and supple. There is no cure for eczema, but this sure comes close. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 is because it is not a cure. BTW... No side effects except for once I put it on after a scratching episode, and there was a slight burning sensation."
