A member asked:
I've had an eczema flareup on/off for a month & a half, have already used steroid creams for some of that time & i'm afraid to use too much steroids. i stared using aveeno ezcema balm but still have lots of bumps. could i try apple cider vinegar too?

No vinegar: Vinegar is acidic and may irritate the skin. There are many treatment options and having a Healthtap specialist evaluate may be one option. Please see a dermatologist and also determine through testing and an evaluation whether you have allergic triggers for your skin condition. Avoid over immersion, use an eczema moisturizer without fragrance and continue topical steroids as prescribed.
