I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

When my siblings and I were young we would occasionally get eczema flair ups on our hands. Whenever this happened my mom would fill a sock with Vaseline and have us wear it on our hands to bed. Kinda funny.
Did it work though?
Eczema runs hard in my family and my kids get it terribly. We’ve tried a lot of things but never thought of Vaseline.
We had pretty mild cases, but yeah I remember it working quite well! I wouldn’t recommend it without speaking to a professional first since your kids’ cases are quite severe, but I’ve had good experiences with it.
Yeah we’ve seen skin specialists and tried everything up until steroids.
In the summer it’s worst. I feel so sorry for my kids but we’re hoping that they grow out of it like we did. I’m 34 now and I only really get it on my hands and fingers, I can’t wear any rings because of it. I still get it mildy on my legs too and sometimes it gets bad to a point where I’m bleeding everywhere from scratching it but my hands are the worst, my skin is like old leather now and looks like it’s damaged from acid burns.
