I have moderate eczema on my legs and hands. i have a steroid cream for the worst spots but is bag balm good extra care?

Maybe.: Bag balm was developed for rashes on cow udders. (really; that's the "bag" part.) it is essentially lanolin, and a few inactive ingredients. It isn't a bad supplementary treatment for eczema, but you need to use the prescribed cream too.
