Today, I discovered that the painful eczema I get every winter was actually being caused by the moisturising cream I use to treat it. FML

I have had the same problem all year round, since a few weeks after I was born. It's not as simple as just not using the cream in the first place as so often it is not possible to know what it is which is causing the eczema. I used hydrocortizone cream for years even though it was making my skin itch more, because as a child that is what I was told to do. As I got older they started listening to me and tried different creams, which didn't work either. It's quite possible that OP thought that it was the weather which made the eczema worse, which is completely plausible. To people asking why he used the cream to prevent eczema: in some cases moisturising cream can help prevent the dry skin, which is a sign of eczema.

I have eczema too. It sucks. Soak for 30 mins in a luke warm "aveeno oatmeal baby bath". Use like 3 packs of the oatmeal. It is cheap and soothes the itching, redness, and pain. I have severe eczema and this helps a lot. Moisturize with aveeno baby lotion. Feel better!
