Please help!
Hi
My name is Tom. I have suffered with eczema from a very early age.
For a few years in my early teens the eczema was almost gone but Dan in my early 20s it came back I am now 30 and it is worse than ever. It is especially in my face and neck and it goes through the same cycle it gets really red flares up and then it goes flaky. I am currently on methotrexate which worked in the beginning but has now stopped working.
I am going back to the doctors to see what other options there are but I can't do this any more it is driving me insane.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Please help!
Sorry to hear of your problem Tom; is dupilumab available in your country? Understand that it's a new treatment which is accepted by dermatologists... maybe can check with your dermatologist on this. Also the usual skincare routine and active steps to remove staph bacteria?
Take care,
