Does anyone know any nice smelling (but not harsh) cream for eczema?

The ones my doctors have prescribed me makes my skin smell disgusting after a while and im so sick of it that i cant take it anymore, i near resort to vomiting. I shower daily, but once the cream is on and its left a while its so gross and i feel horrible. I would love a nice smelling product that is good for sensitive skin?? thanks guys!!|||Hiya, The problem that I find with most creams that the doc prescribes is that they are either cortisone%26#039;s (steroids) and these really make you skin fragile and generally aren%26#039;t nice to use or they smell foul. A friend of mine recently used something called dermashield, I think it was originally sold to industry to help with types of dermatitis, but it is also really good for eczema. My friend used it on her face, so is really gentle, it%26#039;s also a mousse so sinks in quickly and doesn%26#039;t have a smell. This is the website: http://www.dermashield.co.uk/derma-shield-personal-skin-care.html it%26#039;s available on the nhs, but to be honest if you pay for prescriptions it may be cheaper to buy a small can on the website to try it out then if it works, get the doc to prescribe you a huge can which will last forever!!! I know my mate%26#039;s doc said it wasnt available on the nhs but it is, and I think there is a section on the website that has the codes and stuff you need to give your doc so they can prescribe it. It%26#039;s worth giving it a go though because my mate is really made up with it, she had the same issues as you, didnt want a gross smelling cream that lay on the skin for ages. Anyway hope this helps and good luck!|||See your dermatologist, there are new creams on the market, they have found that topical vitamin D is helpful. I don%26#039;t know how mild or stinky it is, but to me it would be worth a little stinky to control the eczema. Your choice.|||I don%26#039;t know of any - but you may want to ask your doctor about taking the shots for it. I believe they%26#039;re weekly, or monthly, depending on the severity. It obviously produces no smell, and usually works quite wonderfully.|||cortisone always seems to help my daughters
