I get eczema really bad on my face too and again mine started around the time of my exams. I disagree with the doctor telling you emollient dilutes the steroid. A mild steroid should only be used on the face anyway... I use an emollient called hydromol and i share by it! I find having a bath and soa...

I just wanted to say thank you for your support. It means a lot when you slip into a dark place which I have always struggled with a lot, dramatic mood swings I can go from happy to depressed 2-3 times in the same day. Lately I've been experimenting with my diet and this has helped a lot. I read abo...

Hi I am really clutching onto my final straw. I am hoping typing up a bit of my story could at least help me mentally if nothing else. This could be an essay I am sorry in advance... My eczema really started when I was 16 I had it a little as a child but nothing major. But when I hit 16 I started my...

Hi I use a nice greasy ointment on my face for the dry and red areas, rather than creams even though it's a pain and it takes ages to soak in it works wonders.

Hi I have the same problem with my boyfriend but all I can suggest is and I know it is hard for you too but use her deodorant, use her shower gels, and only things she knows don't causee a flare up I don't think it is possible to be allergic to a specific person so it must be something you are using...

Hi I could use some advice u am looking into acupuncture for my eczema it is in similar places to yours, all over my face neck arms chest legs feet. Practically everywhere except my hands. Anyway I have made an appointment with the one closest to me but it's not a Chinese herbalist just an acupunctu...

I have really bad face eczema too, but mine is constant with flare ups that get worse but it never goes away. What topical steroid creams are you using?
