Jean, I don't see any answers so here is my 2 cents as an eczema sufferer myself. It really is an allergy reaction, so unless you discover the trigger allergen and remove that from your body or environment the eczema will continue whether constant or sporadic. There are also for me underlying problems that make me more susceptible to allergies and the main one is intestinal candida (my opinion). My main trigger for eczema and hives is iodine, which is next to impossible to completely avoid, though I have been trying to avoid it for 18 years. CS helps me in this way---I spray and splash the eczema rash areas with CS, and while the skin is still wet, I slather on a good layer of my homemade face and body cream. Dry skin makes eczema much worse. This protocol has kept me sane during the past 4 months of constant eczema. Daily oral and other uses of CS have not noticeably helped the eczema directly. Although it may be helping keep down any secondary infections from scratching. And it seems to me that if your allergy is TO an underlying infection the oral CS would help. Zyrtec did nothing for me. The best antihistamine type relief for me is a combination of 4 mg chlortrimeton (generic) and 150 mg. Zantac (also generic) along with a homeopathic combination remedy that addresses hives and eczema. Just thought I'd mention those if you haven't heard of taking Zantac etc for hives/eczema.
