grizz, have you tried organic coconut oil?

I bought some from the health shop and while I wouldn't say it's a cure, it did help and you can use a cotton bud to use for your ears.

Oh, don't double dip !!! or you'll put germs in the oil.

I get it on and around my lips. It's horrible, I hate it. I also have a sensitivity to a common ingredient used in most creams and balms. I use good old Rawleighs Ointment. It seems to be the only thing that works.
Not sure about inside your ears though

A bucket of warm salty water put your head into the bucket for 10 minutes.

The reason I tried the oil is because I read about the steroid type creams and how, if they are used for long periods of time, the cream can cause more trouble than the original complaint. For some people it took a couple of years to be rid of the skin irritations caused by the creams.

I got eczema soooo bad as a littlie.

and never grew out of it, like you it just goes from one spot to another.

I used to use steroid oitments..... but it doesnt seem as bad in my 40's as it has previously.

I have a beewax natural moisturising cream that seems to work. but I got it locally from some hippies....

its a buggar isnt it

Yes Poddy, growing up the salt in warm water was a cure for everything.

one of the kinder used to get it - we eventually got rid of it by breaking a vitamin e capsule open and putting the oil of that on it - never came back.

so try that,

how to apply?

gawd

docs say put nothing in your ear smaller than your elbow (how the hell does he expect me to reach with my elbow??)

but - and disclaimmer here - no idea if this stuff sends you deaf or blind, but the kinder didn't scream, so it mustn't hurt much

maybe pour it in like ear drops and do the head shake thing

stick some on a q tip or your finger and poke that in there?

ask the doc?

as a rule of thumb, if you wouldn't put the veet hair removal cream for men there, don't put anything else there.

There isn't any cure. So just put up with it.
