"I've suffered from eczema since I was born. No plastic diaper cover, etc. Born in 1960, docs did a lot of odd treatments that didn't work. Finally, in the mid 70s, it went to my feet. My heels cracked, also between the toes. The cracks were often over 1/2' deep, bled, and never closed. Of course, the doctors declared that it was athlete's foot! I had to put an OTC solution that has alcohol as the #1 ingredient! I couldn't walk in the mornings, bled on things, and was tortured by athlete's foot meds for years! Finally, I was diagnosed with eczema and allergic to most trees, grasses, weeds, soaps, perfumes, etc. Zinc oxide on the feet wrapped in a sock and plastic bag almost 'cured' the cracks. Coal tar topical shampoos and face really helped too!"

Coal tar topical "Prescribed by my daughter's dermatologist when she was 3 years old. Cutar is used as a bath soak, and it has made her skin less irritated. She is now six, she still has eczema, and we use it intermittently throughout the year due to the warnings."

Coal tar topical "Will not stop itching, it is not meant to. What it does very well is keep the skin medicated/lubricated so that it does not itch due to dryness alone. I had used similar meds in the 50s for childhood eczema, which is why I went to it again 60+ years later. I have yet to find something that will effectively stop itching for anything but a few minutes without deleterious effects."
