Severe eczema on both legs

[olivia.jane]

Hello,

I have been recently diagnosed with severe eczema on both of my legs, which I have posted a photo of. It is very uncomfortable, stings and burns and most of all it weeps profusely.

I have been to my GP about this issue several times and he recently referred me to a dermatologist, who prescribed me dermol lotion, fucibet cream and antibiotics, but it still didn't help. In fact, both my legs started to weep even more water than before. It's becoming a hassle for me as I can't sleep at night because there's so much water leaking from both my legs.

The skin itself is very raw and sore. When I put the cream in, it burns and stings a lot. I don't know what to do so any advice would be appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oh dear, it does look very serious. It's a real infection risk.. if you start to have fever, chills or if the legs don't start to get better, suggest to quickly see a doctor. If you can't get to a specialist, perhaps should even check into emergency. Not sure how to help as it also doesn't look like a typical eczema reddish rash.. is it related to other health condition like diabetes that makes wound healing difficult?

Take care, so sorry.. check with doctor on wound cleaning, whether it ought to be wrapped up and how to first get the wound to heal.
