ive had all sorts of creams and steroids....bt dont particulay want to use steroids because of the side effects later on in life!
just wondering if anyone has any other 'cures' or solutions???
Answers:
I'm nearly 36 and still suffer!, although much less than I used to. Find out what triggers it for you - it could be many different things and different to other sufferers, mine are weather changes ( and I still live in Britain!!!), stress, excess alcohol, and getting too cold. Keep your skin moist, try different diets to see what works for you - aloe vera juice helped mine (disgusting, but effective for some people). Try Eucerin cream too, I am currently using this and find it helpful, especially when sores caused by dryness is the problem. Follow the advice of your doctors, don't keep changing washing/cleaning products - stick with the same. Always put moisturising cream on immediately after batheing/showering, and cover with clothing to avoid slippery conditions.
Also, look up the National Excema Society for more information and support - http://www.eczema.org/
I hope some of this helps, and that you are luckier than I.
