My aunt has excema on her legs real bad and has tried all types of ointments and they all helped some,but also cost alot for a little amount. My other aunt told her to use vineger water 1/2 to 1/2 and just splash it on her lags or use a cotton cloth and dab her legs, She said that vinegar is a natural healing agent and is very soothing and alot less money than some of the oinments on the market
