Hi Andrea, welcome to AAFA!  I am glad that you found something to use on your eczema. 

How long have you been dealing with eczema? Here is a great resource on Eczema.

Nothing has touched my insanely dry and itchy bout with eczema-like foderma eczema serum. No pain applying to broken skin and almost clear by morning. Even the prescription stuff does not give these results!

Hi.  I was unaware that atopic dermatitis has the symptom of sleep disturbance.  Is the sleep problem due to the discomfort caused by the other symptoms or is the sleep problem a separate symptom?  My 21-year-old has a small amount of eczema and he has trouble sleeping.  He has never blamed the eczema for his sleep problems.  Could there be a connection?  Thank you.

Hi @StuffywithCare, thanks for your blog comment! It's possible that there is a connection. Have you mentioned his sleep issues to his doctor? Here's an article from the American Academy of Dermatology that may answer some of your questions. Although the article is targeted to parents of small children, the information is relevant for anyone with eczema. The article also mentions, "When eczema itches, it can keep a child awake or wake the child from a sound sleep."

You can also post this question in our Asthma/Allergy community and see what others have to say about this issue. Thanks!
