I saw an advertisement today for a new steroid-free eczema treatment (unfortunately, it doesn't give the name of the product). It is manufactured by Fujisawa Healthcare, Inc. and a phone # (no website) is provided to receive further info. Phone # is 1-888-441-2442, and apparently a free video, titled Inside Eczema, is included with the info you receive.

Has anyone been made aware of this new treatment by their health professionals? The ad is in a U.S. magazine, so I'm not sure if the phone # works from Canada, and I'm also unsure if it's been approved for import by Health Canada. Sounds promising, though. The main concern with steroids is side-effects, which makes them less than ideal for long term treatment.

Check all the ingredients very carefully. I heard there was a new eczema medication that contained peanut oil! I understand it is listed under another name, perhaps arachis. Im pretty sure I read it from a link I got from this site.

one site - allergyfacts.org.au/alert.htm lists "Hydromol" as an eczema med. containing peanut.

There is also a new one called Triceram ([url]http://www.Triceram.com[/url]) that does NOT contain peanut oil. I haven't gotten it yet - I assume it must be pretty pricey since it is sold at Saks Fifth Ave., Nordstroms and Bloomingdales! When I find out more about it, I'll post. My hands are so cracked and bloody right now, I'd try just about anything! (Except the stuff with the peanut oil, of course [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img].)
