Hello, I have a pretty bad case of excema which has developed over the last year. (Had it also when I was a baby) I have used every type of cortizone as well and it seems to work at first but only leads to a bigger rash. I started using aveeno bar soap and my excema is starting to fade... Aveeno also comes in a body lotion and a bath powder. The main ingredient is oatmeal and I really think you should give it a try. Let us know! Tanya
