eczema

explainittome · 10-26-2009, 02:38 AM

I have eczema just right behind my elbows and around them. This is the reason why I don’t wear short-sleeved shirts/blouses. I try to hide them. Nothing my dermatologist (I think) is working for me. I’m going to talk to another dermatologist for another opinion. Can you suggest anything that I can try to get rid of the eczema? Thanks.

There’s no easy cure in getting rid of eczema. But an effective way of doing that is by using elidel. I used it on my 6 year old’s eczema too. Very much available in any local or online pharmacy out there. Ask a dermatologist for further help.

Just had another outbreak. It's the weirdest thing. I never had a problem with this until a couple of years ago .... I'm in my late 40's now.

i'm so confused. I had a mark on my back that stayed light in the summer when I would tan, so I went to my dermatologist, she said it was eczema and prescribed me a cream for it. It never went away and now on my chest I have another patch of skin that is significantly paler than the rest of my skin. Is this eczema or is my dermatologist an idiot?
