Eczema
Hi, I have this Eczema on my face around the eyebrows, bridge of my nose and around the mouth area. I have had nothing prescribed by a GP as they are without a doubt the most uncaring unhelpful practice on the Planet. Is there anything that you can recommend for me to buy over the counter for this? It seems to flair up more so in the winter for some reasons and it gets sore and itchy. Have it all year around but sometimes milder than now.
Thanks
Steve

Re: Eczema
Dear Steve,
I am so sorry to hear about your skin problem. This sounds like a particular type of eczema called seborrheic dermatitis. You should try Canesten or even better Canesten cream twice daily or Daktacort cream twice dialy for about a week or two. You can also try Nizoral cream twice daily. If it is helpful you can use it longterm as needed when eczema flares up.
I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
