i am very similar to you in that i have had eczema forever!
i used to wear gloves when i went to sleep and long, thick shirts. this prevented me from scratching.
They make cloth gloves and you can put your lotion on too even when wearing them.
I know it might sound a little silly but, my mom use to put socks on my brothers hands when he went to bed to keep him from scratching. It really helped him.
I’ve e same problem since childhood days too. its common for ppl staying in tropical area to have eczema… I resides in SGP by the way…
A few tips to reduce itch:
1) use diprocel cream (gradually i found tt it itch less often)
2) take Atrax (an anti itch pill – not immediately felt but usually next day u dun feel itchy at all)
3) take a flu tablet pill (the yellow colour type) – i was told that it has the same effects as Atrax.
1 & 2 requires a doctor’s prescription while 3 can be bought over the counter at pharmacies.
when it itch real bad i will take 2 or 3 option. it works for me and i seldom has itchy “attacks” now. maybe once a year or something? and every “attach” is mild as compared to my childhood days.
Please consult a doctor! what works for me might not work for others! I went to National Skin Centre to have a specialist’s opinion before, for your info.
As for tips to prevent u from scratching during sleep – wear long sleeve (make sure its loose / not thick material so that you can loose heat easily) sleeping in air con room might help cos heat is the main cause for eczema attacks. having a cold shower before sleep helps too! In short – avoid and reduce HEAT! (put ice packs on ur arms when u sleep to numb ur hand maybe?)
oh, and stop scratching!!! slap or beat ur skin instead!!!

=> just to add on after i see Minx’s answer:
i do not have constipation problems often lol!
Do you also have constipation problems?? A deficiency in Vitamin B6 will produce symptoms of constipation including dry mouth. Vitamin B6 is necessary for the production of Hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric acid secretions below normal have been linked to the following:
Eczema;
Rosacea;
Astma
Hives.
Hydrochloric acid plays an important part in the first digestive step, which if not completed properly, can result in digestive problems all the way through the digestive tract.
Hydrochloric acid (HCI) does not digest food on its own but creates and environment in which digestion begins. HCI is responsible for converting pepsinogen to pepsin, which begins breaking down protein in the stomach. With limited HCI, pepsinogen is not converted to pepsin and protein digestion fails. A second action of HCI is to prevent infections, since most organisms that are ingested are destroyed by an adequately acid environment.
Symptoms of HCI deficiency: meal related bloating and burping, general flatulence, history of adult acne, history of eczema and drowsiness after meals.
Organic apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons full, in a glass of cold water taken 1/2 hour before meals will mildly stimulate hydrochloric acid production.
You would also need to increase you intake of foods rich in this vitamin ie: wheat bran, brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, liver, fish, soy beans, cantaloupe, cabbage, green leafy vegies, whole grains, brown rice, eggs, oats, peanuts and walnuts. Vitamins B6 is also required for the proper absorption of vitamin B12 and the production of magnesium. So, you may have also been experiencing deficiencies in magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) and vitamin B12. A deficiency in vitamin B12 will cause a whole host of new problems !! ie: fatigue, exhaustion, depression, irritablity, moodiness, dizziness, insomnia, inability to concentrate, sweating in the head and hands, headaches and migraines, heart palpitations and even chest pains !!
I have a sneaking suspicion that your eczema can be radically alleviated by following my advice. You will notice a vast improvement in your symptoms within 24 hours and therefore the quality of your sleep and peace of mind will increase. That in itself is invaluable, isn’t it !!
I’ve just been through an outbreak of severe eczema on the backs of my legs, behind my knees and behind my upper arms. This is after never having had it in my whole life!! Within the week it appears to have all but gone, with just a small amount of it left !! Believe me, it scared the pants off me because it was extremely scaly and angry looking !!
The conclusion I came to with myself was that I had an allergic reaction to an oil used in a tinned variety of red salmon I ate !! Makes it hard doesn’t it???
After a bit of research this was all the steps I followed and the results are fantastic……………….. I sincerely wish you all the best of health………..:0)
PEACE & LIGHT
Eczema is a very big problem for teenagers because they’re the age group that is most prone to their pores becoming clogged. Eczema is a condition in which your skin becomes irritated, red and itchy. Atopic eczema is the most common form and doctors don’t know exactly why it shows up in the first place.
It was seen that eczema skin symptoms vary from person to person but, however, the most usual eczema skin symptoms are reddening of the skin, a prolonged itching sensation, swelling of the affected areas, and sometimes blistering, and crusting.Itching is an important symptom of eczema, and those with atopic dermatitis are more sensitive to it, needing to scratch for a long time. It is known that scratching and rubbing in response to itching makes the skin inflammation get worse.
I am a former eczema sufferer and know first hand how eczema can disrupt a persons life.But I find eczema home remedies in a website and complete relief from eczema in 14 days.
