Dermatologist Recommended Eczema Skincare 

At 17:33 thank you for validating that! I took my daughter to a specialist and he mentioned how eczema can ruin a persons whole well being, how it was his childhood struggle which is why he specialized in it. When I mentioned it to my daughter’s pediatrician she laughed at me and said it doesn’t and stared at me like I was an idiot then pretty much said he’s a quack… I left so upset with her cause I know my daughter was miserable day/night!

As someone who had atopic eczema throughout my entire life, I swear by the vaseline intensive care lotion. Their products are my holy grail even in the "better" months.

I saw a post on Facebook, and this woman complained that her skin is very itchy after leaving the shower... I explained it was her skin barrier and suggested Aveeno balm. I also told her to follow you here on YT.. You're so educated on these matters and have helped so many of us. This is a great video for me... I used most of the products you've suggested and my skin is lovely once again... The winter is coming and this is very tough on my skin... Thanks Dr Dray... You rule 💖 P.S. I slathered up while watching 🧴

Currently experiencing a bad eczema flare 😅 this video could not have come at a better time! Thanks Dr. Dray!

I have literally tried every eczema product at the drugstore for my eyelid eczema and the best one is the aveeno baby eczema therapy moisturizing cream. All the others Ive tried have irritated my skin. And putting petroleum jelly on top when the cream dries down makes it even better.

After the last eczema video, I started using fragrance and dye free body wash instead of scented hand soap and it's really helped my hands clear up so far!

Yes! Really needed this video . THANK YOU Dr Dray.

Thank you so so much for putting this out! Just this morning, I was going through watching all of your eczema videos because with the weather changes and pregnancy, my skin has completely flipped out with what looks like a topic dermatitis. I was using some Vichy Products before… with fragrance and alcohol! My skin was really happy for quite a while with them but now, I can’t put them near my face! Sad because I just restocked things but you know, you got to do what you Gotta do. So I decided to pick up the Eucerin skin calming cream and their advanced cleansing body and face wash. Just this morning I went and got the Cerave ointment also. The first flareup I had was after using A&D ointment around on my face. It contains lanolin and fragrance… Then I had issues with fragrance products after that, so I believe I have been sensitized to fragrance now. Also, using some oil based skin care products did not help but made issues worse leading up to my second flareup. I am due with my baby in about a month, so I’m really hoping I can clear this up and keep it clear. I’m just planning to use what clears it up and keep using it for these winter months. It’s been hard forsaking all cosmetics in the meantime, but it is what it is!

As someone who’s had Eczema for 14 years now, on my lower legs & ankles, sometimes you NEED to go to your doctor and get a prescription. Mine was so bad & so horribly Itchy, I had to get Elocon Ointment for it. Used twice a day, that actually cleared it right up in about two weeks. I tried many over the counter remedies & none of them worked. The prescription Ointment was a necessity for me.😉

Thanks for producing this content! I wish I had this information when I was a teenager.

Dr. Dray thank you for this video. I have been dealing with severe atopic dermatitis due to severe allergies which started when I reached menopause. For some reason I cannot tolerate occlusive like Vaseline even when I am flaring up. My problem is on my neck and hands. It is very painful and life disturbing. This video definitely helps. Thank you for all the suggestions. Have a great day.

Hi dr. Dray! ❤❤ thanks for the video!

This video is amazing. great to see someone actually in the store showing products and talking about them.

''scratched'' the surface, Dr Dray, u crack me up!!

I used the Gold Bond Eczema on my face (I have rosacea). It's nice. I have also used the Eucerin Eczema Relief, it's good too. Very soothing. I also use kids or baby mineral sunscreens, like Banana Boat Kids/Baby or Cerave Baby.

Thank you for more great information! 🥰

I don't have eczema but I know these tips will still be beneficial to me, especially in the Winter when my skin becomes drier. Thanks, Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💚

Thank you as always!!! 😊

Hi Dr. Drey! Can you please do a thorough skincare video like this for people with psoriasis? Thank you!

Thank you Dr Dray! Since moving to Las Vegas my eczema has unfortunately returned. I really appreciate all your great advice.

Thanks! Lots of new information for me, even after researching eczema and products.

I have atopic eczema for six months a year during the cold season since I was born, I thought cold was a common if not the main cause for it, but I never hear talk about it in skincare videos...I am also allergic to wool, which makes the winter a bit complicated 😅 It is mainly on the limbs and the scalp though, suprisingly my face skin is very resilient.

I am learning so much on this chanel. I have been to a dermatologist twice in 1,5 years. First time he said 'remove your cats, that's the origine/cause probably'.. 2nd time his answer was a little more professional and helpfull. I did get a creme with urea, very stingy in the beginning, but it does take away the itch after 15 minutes... effect doesn't last hours unfortunately. Tried a couple of lotions (eucerin, vaseline.. but most make me itchy after an hour, like it's too slick). I hate showering because its always itchy (too cold, too warm.. finding that sweet spot is hard) but I might try do it more often to get rid of the dried up skin before going to bed and just scratching whole night long. Thank you so much!

Excellent coverage Dr. Dray. I am suffering from frequent hives, periodic spouts of atopic dermatitis, and dryness of eczema on my hands and arms. This video covered so much for me and gave lots of perspective. I am pretty much a fan of CeraVe/Eucerin/Aquaphor products. Keep these coming Dr. Dray! Me and my Esthetics Students follow and watch your videos.

I'm so happy I have come across your channel, Dr. Dray. I've been suffering from Atopic Dermatitis since birth and I've met a lot of dermatologist who only made it worst due to recommending steroid creams. Thank you for recommending these products! I have to save enough money to buy a few.

I've been using Banana Boat sensitive mineral sunscreen (also labeled Kids or Baby sunscreen, same ingredients) for many years, yes it leaves a bit of a cast but I can deal with it fine, it is the only one that is super affordable and also feels great with my sensitive dry skin

Happy Tuesday dr dray xx

I love you thank you so much for everything you do!!!! I hope because of you 😭❤️

We’ve tried quite a few, and for my son and I the Gold Bond works best. It’s got 2% colloidal oatmeal vs many products only having 1%. I can’t say for sure, but maybe that’s why.

I moved back to the Midwest from the south and my eczema started to flare up again during the winters. I have used Lubiderm lotion for decades and it works wonders!! I'm surprised she didn't recommend that brand.

Happy Tuesday Dr Dray ❤

Thanks to your ongoing education, i recognized really early that my eczema is trying to flare again after about 20 years in remission! Ive been taling oat baths and using cerave anti itch on the patch. It seems to be going back under control (no visible signs, only a mild occasional itch in THE spot) but after an incident where my face barrier got damaged, im on an october reset to make sure im not over loading my skin!

Happy Tuesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤

You aren’t wrong when you say Urea can make a flare up sting. I had a spot flare up that also is in the same place as my KP. I put the Cetaphil Urea cream on it thinking it would help, NOPE. Stung like crazy and made the flare up worse. Works great on KP tho as long as you aren’t having an eczema flare up lol.

Good Morning, Dr. Dray ❤. Happy Tuesday

Thank you as always for caring so much to educate us- my friend just had her 20th surgery to remove many skin lesions and have biopsies and she is addicted to going in the sun. I wish she would watch you, 💜💜💜

Dr, Dray how’d you know I was struggling badly with eczema right now thank you for the video!

I suffer from eyelid eczema. What works the best for me is a swipe of SkinSmart on a cotton pad and then CeraVe Healing Ointment on top.

Vinegar and water rinse. 1 part to 10 parts. Has always helped me. I have ez around my hair line. I use the rinse(while in the shower) and Cortizones ez lotion after, put on while my skin in wet. This has been my go to for years now.

I’m suffering from moderate to severe eczema and currently avoiding dupixent so I can be patch tested first. I’d love to hear your favorite moisturizers and cleansers below. Mine are: -Nivea sensitive and radiant lotion -aveeno baby lotion -eucerin calming cream -Chinese herbal cream that I truly don’t know what’s inside. I’m terrified of how well it works and scared of it Sometimes I will layer on top with straight mineral oil.

I love the gold bond eczema cream

The Aveeno anti-itch balm with Pramoxine really messed up my skin barrier. I'm afraid to touch anything with Pramoxine now, especially since the marketing behind Aveeno's products hinges on gentleness to the skin. For people in the UK, I understand Cetraben and Diprobase are their go-to products. I have both of them and they're definitely very gentle on the skin.

Thank You Dr. Dray!😊

Thanks for this I think environment plays a big part in this. I live in northern Canada and my eye lids are always flaring with eczema.

I used colloidal oatmeal for months and found out the hard way that it was what I was partially allergic to and it was making my eczema worse. 😅

Thank you! With my husband we also look for the seal of the eczema society so far all their options have been safe to us. Finding shampoo for it was hard since my husband has ezcema and psoriasis on his scalp 😅

I have this red inflammatory lesion that has been biopsied several times . One time they said it was actinic Keratosis and gave me that chemotherapy fluorocil cream and i got a bad reaction. Ever since then… that area has been inflamed again, biopsied again and now the pathology says its non-specific. Thank god for concealer. One cosmetic dermatologist wanted to laser it but the differential diagnosis says it may inflame further and another derm said it won’t. I don’t know who to believe. Thank god for concealer. 😌

Thank you!!!

😂😂oh oh oh the scratch don't get me tempted i use the gauze wrap technique on my forearms and the gloves tip really helps a lot ❤✌. Balms and ointments help as well i used la roche posay lipikar AP+M the thick version of it not the light one and man it helped me a lot alongside with aveeno daily emmolient wash dermexa. Thanks for the eczema info and tips Doctor Andrea it really means a lot for us who are afflicted by it. It gives us courage and motivation to keep on fighting and not to be ashamed for having eczema 😊❤.

❤❤❤Thank you do much your the best! You have told and help us even more then my son’s doctors omg. So my son has eczema since he was a newborn 17 years ago, he uses all the Aveeno products and Vaseline under his medication ointments. And now thanks to you he uses the pimple patch. He also uses Dove soap but I believe he (we all) shouldn’t because I don’t think that’s a great soap. I’m thinking he should try CearaV or vincare also try goldbond lotion. In the past other lotions absolutely did not work. Lately he has lots of scratches where many are open cuts, on his legs and arms. He scratches when he’s sleeping. Sunscreen is still difficult to find and he doesn’t like them. My little god son now has eczema as well, so I sent his mom this video. We never knew about some of these tips, I wish I knew long before.

Thank you. I have the piolaris stuff on my arms. Had it my entire life and never able to get rid of it.

Thank you 😊😊😊

Thank goodness for topical steroid creams. Last winter when my teen son had a bad eczema out break on his hands, that cream cleared it up almost immediately. We keep it on hand ( there's another skin pun). Thanks for the video, Happy Tuesday 🌞🏵️

I am using a DAC basic cream (standard basis in germany for lipid balancing creams in germany) based 8% urea cream produced by my local pharamacy on demand. When applying it my skin stays moist for 12 - 24h. Compared to regular products with a lot more ingredients but also with similar urea content it produces much better results. I might try oatmeal.

Could you please do a video on tallow based skincare? 🙏 I’ve been hearing lots of people talk about it, and not sure whether it’s worth trying or not.

I swear by cerave and eucerin. They have been a lifesaver for my skin,especially in winter.

For some reason the only thing that recently cleared my seb derm was a tanning moisturizer called Jergens Natural glow. I wanted to fix my hypopigmentation due to seb derm and while using the moisturizer it helped with my eczema. Idk why because looking back on it, it probably had a lot of ingredients that aren’t suitable for dermatitis. Is it bad to continue using? Any downsides to that specific brand ?

sadly we don't have most of these in europe or at least in my country so it's always a struggle for me to find the right products.. currently looking for a good body wash that's not too drying and still cleans my skin well and i also experience lots of keratosis pilaris bumps on top of my knees so i'm definitely gonna look out for your recommendations and hope they're also available here. either way thank you so much for this video!

I love that baby Aveeno tub for around my nose and under my eye like more on the upper and side cheeks, it just doesn’t it for me after I apply all my night time products and let them dry and set in if that makes sense.

Hey Dr Dray, maybe you could do a video about the Follicular occlusion triad and, specifically, Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp? I’ve heard that new research and medication is coming for those suffering from HS, and DCS has a resemblance to HS. My last Derm appointment gave me hope that an effective treatment is on the way! I specifically received DCS from when the introduction of others scalp bacteria was presented to my scalp through an electric hair clipper cut on my skin in San Antonio.

Happy Tuesday guys

I've recently been diagnosed with eczema on my chest. For some reason all aveeno products kind of burn/sting when I put them on it. So I've moved to using cerave renewing night moisturizer cream instead (for those that are on s strict budget like myself the walgreens version of this is just as good but hard to find).

I have eczema and Aveeno is like fuel for a fire! Cetaphil is my go too.

Hi Doc, please talk about Crisaborole and treatment for eye eczema 🙏

Anyone have product recommendations for my type one acne prone skin with conditions such as acne, erythema, fine lines & inflammation?

Hi Dr Dray can I ask you for advice? What can I do for the irch in the canal of your ear? it itches and makes me crazy. I have seborrheic dermatitis, controlled in the skin and scalp, more or less, but inside the ears what can be done? please 🙏

Hey! Dr dray. Can you please make a video on jelly masks, wash off masks products that you like and recommend. It would be really helpful for so many of us to feel relaxing doing those masks cause so many of us don’t know the right jelly masks to use on our face. Thank you! 🤍

Happy Tuesday! I struggle with eczema especially on the scalp and ear area. I am interested in trying the Ginger beer Shampoo that you mentioned in your September favorites. However, I am currently using the Ketoconazole 2% prescription shampoo. I will then apply a second shampoo on my scalp. Do you think it will be a conflict to use the Ginger Beer as my follow up shampoo after Ketoconazole?

I have been having a hard time with eyelid dermatitis. I would love to see an updated video on this, Dr. Dray. Also, if I put any type of ointment (petrolatum, Cerave Healing ointment) on my lids, they get itchy and swollen. It makes no sense!!

Grateful for your content. Do you still send gently used products to Project Beauty Share?

Hi dr dray please can you review the new Inkey List tripeptide plumping lip balm?

Dr Dray. Have you ever done a video on Psoriasis? Dot

I have scaly skin that tends to become itchy now that we are approaching the cold season. Is that eczema too? Or ichthyosis vulgaris? How will I know if I have both and what do you recommend that I use? Thank you.

Aveeno Eczema Therapy Line has truly help reduce my itch.

I use Dermal very dry skin cream and it's been amazing for my facial eczema

Good tips. I wear socks at night to keep from scratching.❤

@drdayzday I have eczema that isn’t necessarily flared but it’s still pink and a little rough. I would like to wear sunscreen but chemical sunscreen stings and itches. I will use mineral sunscreen. My question is if I can wear a tinted mineral sunscreen so it evens out my skin time and makes it even less likely to show white cast. Thank you!

Dr Dray, do you have any suggestions for those going thru Taxotere Chemo for Prostate Cancer in an 82 yr old male. Hair loss aside, I understand the skin barrier will be tender, & there will be nail/cuticle issues. I've read to use gentle cleansers like Baby Shampoo, use a body Moisturizer & Vaseline use around the cuticles & lips. Are there any add'l/better suggestions? Many thanks!

Walgreens has an icthammol ointment. It’s by first aid

thanks for the video dr dray!! i hope one day you make a video about uncommon areas that eczema develops at i recently developed seborrheic dermatitis/eczema on my ears and also behind my ears and I don’t see many talk about it!!

Vanicream sunscreen is the only sunscreen that doesn't bother me. Even the laroche posay and Elta bother me. Also the laroche posay miscellar sent my eczema into overdrive.

Hi Dr Dray. I have severe eczema on my scalp and can't find a shampoo and conditioner that won't irritate it more.

Hey dr dray! Can eczema prone skin type use retinol when we don’t have flare up or visible eczema redness

Gold Bond uses strong ingredients which led to my eczema prone hands so them having one for an eczema product would be counter productive for me. Can you recommend others? I saw that you recommended CeraVe which I appreciate.

Weirdly the aveeno baby balm burned my eyelid dermatitis. Like straight fire. Thankfully the cerave healing ointment is super gentle and soothing for me

Sometimes staying brand loyal gets you functional packaging and delivery of product. So many times Ive bought store brand and the pump won't function or the flip cap is brittle and cracks off. Just my experience 😊 Danya

I get a lot of skin buildup on my legs that only goes away if I use a scrub so I have to wash my legs. I prefer sugar scrubs since they are gentler and more moisturizing.

I have never clicked on a video so fast 😄

Hi.. i have eczema on my hands. Is it okay to use retinol on my face.

I've heard people say to bathe twice a week to allow the natural oils to restore..is there any truth in this? I find showering once per day (before bed) works best

what is the difference between petrolatum vs mineral oil? i thougt it s the same thing

Can we use aveeno eczema moisturizing cream on face?

A very timely video. I just had a flare up of atopic dermatitis on my face, including eyelids, following peri oral dermatitis. Was not pleasant. Can antidanfruff shampoos be used on targeted areas of face ie around nostrils & mouth for malezzia? Thanks for all the education you give us😊

My son has eczema he went to the dermatologist, and the cream they gave him seems to make it look redder and more inflamed. I suggested Cerave healing ointment and gold bond eczema to keep it moisturized. It comes and goes. Thanks Dr. Dray for all your help understanding these conditions.

I have Eczema and sun allergy, I do apply sunscreen, however it doesn't help much both my hands are always with the small bumps and my hands look weird all the time even do I am at home and don't go out. I don't know what to apply for sun allergy and eczema

Hey Dr. Dray, do you have any advice for stress related dyshidrosis on palms and fingers (other than be less stressed! Lol)

I suffer from Grovers Disease, luckily it's pretty much around my trunk area but damn if it isn't aggravating. I use unscented everything & excezma lotions but it never truly clears up😢

Haven't seen Aveeno restorative eczema line on Canadian shelves in weeks. How could they? :(

If I am using an ointment or cream for eczema (CeraVe, Aquaphor etc.) and also an anti-itch product like Pramoxine, in what order should they be applied?

How do I know if it’s eczema or dandruff problem?
