Recently I came across many uses for the Vick Vapor Rub online and copied it. I can say I have used it on my hands for temporary relief for my eczema. Passing it along to you all. I do plan to make your rub Rita. Thanks for posting it.
Vicks VapoRub is known for its anti fungal properties. Vicks VapourRub cures are a popular non-prescription remedy. While Vicks VaporRub was originally marketed to treat respiratory illnesses, a variety of additional uses have been found for this product. Some of the most popular uses of this product include the treatment of fungal infections such as ringworm, the soothing of sore muscles and joints, and the moisturizing of dry, cracked heels. Most people are able to use Vicks VaporRub without experiencing any negative side effects, although mild skin irritation is sometimes reported.
Vicks VaporRub Remedies

Vicks is also good for keeping insects and mosquitoes away and for helping reduce the itching and swelling of bites.
Athletes Foot and Fungal Infection – Massage Vicks into the affected feet and toenails daily.
Ear Infection / Itchy Ears
For Itchy Ears / Ear infection pain relief you can warm a garlic clove in the microwave for 10 seconds. Then put some Vicks on one of the ends of the clove and place it in your ear. This also fights the infection

Vicks now is not like Vicks use to be.
At Dollar Tree I found Chest Rub for $1 a jar. I have not used it but got a jar to have on hand. I would sure would not put in my hair.
