    The tried and tested product for general skin problems and itching is Gold Bond lotion, available in the US. I have the Ultimate version with Aloe, but I think any version will do. It is not specifically for eczema and will not replace steroid cream if you have a rash, but for calming an itch and repairing dry skin it is numero uno.

    Hi all, I have also had itchy lower legs and have often scratched in my sleep until bleeding.
    I have found with key is to keep moisturised as DT syas, especially after a bath or shower, but I am extremely careful not to use anything chemical, aim for organic when I can afford and at ‘worst’ ‘ Paraben Free’.

    Thanks for the heads up re the ‘Gold Bond lotion’ DT – Will investigate and check ingredients.?
    Stocking up, ready for action :-)

    This is the one I have. I have never compared it to any others. It’s really an American product but luckily Amazon UK carries it. Watch out if the shipper is American as it takes about 2 weeks to arrive unless you pay for express shipping. I suppose that Ebay UK would also have it, probably from a US shipper.

    Thanks DT – Trying to find ingredients. So many of these products have Lanolin in them and it builds up over time and I’m totally allergic to it like many, Aloe Vera always a good one though.

    I hope I just uploaded a pic of the ingredients on my bottle. It does not say lanolin, however if you are allergic then probably better to write to the manufacturer to confirm.
