Just wanted to share this with everybody. I've had bad eczema since I was a teenager. I get it on the tops of my feet and legs. It would itch and burn like crazy and take forever to clear up. The hydrocortizone creams never really helped much, and I was not crazy about using them because they leave the body open for infection.
A few months ago I tried something new. I put diluted apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and sprayed it on my rash. It stings at first if there are in open wounds, but within a couple minutes, the stinging subsides, then the redness and itching of the rash also subside. I let it air dry then I apply virgin coconut oil to prevent dryness. I might have to reapply 2-3 times during the day, decreasing every subsequent day. By 3 days I no longer have to apply, because it no longer itches and only thing left may be scabs from previous vesicles.
I also found it very helpful for Folliculitis and dandruff that I occasionally get on my scalp. After I wash my hair, I rinse with diluted ACV. Granted, I don't do it as much as I like, cuz my kids complain I smell like a pickle, but the smell does go away once completely dry. ;)
I wish I knew about such a simple solution years ago. No doctors or expensive creams necessary, who'd a thunk it?
