    For more immediate relief, you may consider switching to a goat's milk soap. I also like coconut oil. I wash my face with it; it's the best!

    Oooooh. I bought several bars of goats milk soap at a farm last fall and it's wonderful! I love how gentle it is and smells great with some scented oils the lady added to it.

    Sounds like some probiotics would be a good addition for everyone too!

    Probiotics, fermented foods and getting on a ancestral food program solved most of the issues for me.

    I have eczema on my hands. I've had it for years and while LCHF helps a lot, as do the allergy shots I get, I still have itchy flair ups. Once or twice a day during a flair up I'll mix a little baking soda in my hand soap and this helps.

    For me the skin problems where just a symptom of poor gut health, SIBO, candida, fatty liver....

    Those of you with eczema issues -- do you still consume any dairy or grains? If so, try cutting them out for a month.

    I developed some eczema on my hand a couple of years ago, and had traced it back to that. It would take a few days of a serving per day for it to trigger, but required at least two weeks of total abstinence for it to start healing, and a month for complete healing. (I was able to bring dairy back in, so it might not need to be a permanent thing.)
