I have had eczema as long as I can remember. I tend to get it between my fingers and as a result I often don't wear my wedding rings for fear of the moisture getting trapped and setting it off. Besides the eczema I also get something I call itchy legs. and I only get it in the winter so I assume the cold sets it off.
If you have never heard of the itchy leg thing let me explain, this is not just a little itchy, it is the type of itch where you will scratch until your legs bleed type of itch. I have talked to other people who have had this as well and they completely agree the itch will render you helpless. I have been to dermatologists for the legs and my eczema on my hands. I have tried steroid based creams and also vasoline type creams, I have never used anything that cures either situations. So I just came upon Sarna in the store and it caught my eye because it specifically says anti itch and for eczema. In the past I have been a loyal Lubiderm user as long as it is fragrance free. I also recently tried Eucerin eczema and I wasnt a fan at all, it is like applying glue it is so thick. So back to the Sarna, I really like this product and of everything I have tried and I think I have done it all, I like this product the best for my itchy legs. That being said I feel I must say nothing including the Sarna has made it stop completely. What I like about the Sarna is it is light and it goes on easily, where as most of the creams for eczema are so thick it is a process just to apply them, Sarna is not like that at all and so far it is my favorite, even over the lubiderm. It is pricey however I am sure they will come out with a store brand that will bring the price down. Let me know what you like the best or even if you have a really good home remedy.
