Eczema on face
Hi, I am 17 years old and going through a rather stressful time which does not help my eczema at all I have severe eczema on my face. Last night before I went to bed I used a cream that was prescribed to me by the doctors. I woke up 2 hours later in a lot of pain my face was burning it felt like it was on fire, I held my hand near my face and you could feel the heat. So I rang the 111 number but they just have me some more antihistamine. Today I have had big scabs on my face that are very stiff and now It is very itchy, does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with the big scabs, how to not pick them off or generally any good tips for dealing with severe eczema ...?

Re: Eczema on face
Oh dear, sorry to hear! What cream did you use? I would think it's best to stop using and if you don't get a satisfactory help from the doc who prescribed you that, consider another doc. Also look out for what you ought to avoid - irritants from hair shampoo, facial products, allergens tested positive to, patch test..
