New exzema sufferer

[Mattbrfc]

Hi everyone, and a happy new year to you all.

I have recently started getting exzema in the last 2 years, I get it on my monkey bone, arms, neck, more recently on my eyelids but mainly on my right shin, which is very very itchy and sore. I can get out the shower and it feels slimy at sore then dry out and gets itchy again, I've tried numerous creams nothing works, euvomate calms it down but never goes, a few days after stopping it starts again. I'm wondering would you say its infected or just a bad case. And has anyone had something that works great.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you very much, will check that out.

I struggle to get an appointment with my doctor due to work and my GPs working hours.

Thank you again.

Attempt to recognize and keep away from things that exacerbate your skin inflammation, similar to cleansers, cleansers, textures, pets, dust vermin, shape, dust, and dry environment.

I've got eczema on my hands. It is sore and painful. The skin often dries and splits, causing my hand to bleed. I use Zerobase and Betnovate to treat my hands and use them daily. Thankfully they heal my skin fairly quickly but I have to repeatedly use them. Still, my hands feel better after a few days of treatment.

You can buy Zerobase online: including Amazon.co.uk. The doctor has to prescribe Betnovate: it is a strong steroid cream. There are other creams of course but these two work best for me personally.
