I have eczema on my hand...it's really really annoying, and I can't wear my wedding rings because of it. I've tried OTC stuff, and I meant to buy an aloe plant when I went to the farmer's market, but forgot. I don't want a prescription steroid cream.

Anyway, last night it was really raw and cracked and driving me nuts, so I squirted some breastmilk on it and rubbed it in. I also did it before I went to bed, when I woke up.

I can hardly believe it, but it's looking and feeling a LOT better! Has anyone else heard of this/tried this?

I've heard of it. The last Mothering Magazine had an article on mother's milk as medicine.
