Eczema Treatment Care

Question by kween_r2001: Can anyone out there help me? I have a chronic skin condition that looks like ring worm…?
It’s circular in shape and starts off small (often times two tiny circles side by side). The circle (or circles) grow larger and larger and seems to go through a cycle of sorts before it finally fades and goes away, only to return later (sometimes months, sometimes years even before it comes back again). Lately, each time it comes back, it has been presenting with more and more circular lesions forming in the general area (like a cluster or them). All of the circular lesions go through the same cycle like pattern. The lesions often itch, but not always. They are rough and red on the exterior (like a ring) and somewhat smooth on the inside with less color. This condition has been coming and going in the same general area of my inner thigh for some 14 years and doctors seem dumbfounded. I’ve been to several doctors about it no one seems to have definitive answer about what this disgusting looking “disease” it on my skin. Some said it looks like “nummular eczema” but I’ve read in several places that that more likely affect elderly men. (I’m a 45 yo female who has had this condition for 14 years. ) Some doctors said it looks like ring worm, and treated it to no avail.

Help! Anyone who might have a clue. I’m getting desperate here.

Thanks.

If you look it up, you will see it’s supposed to respond to the same thing that’s in Canesten cream. I don’t know if it will help in your case (surely the docs. can get it sorted out? – Specialist?) but it might be worth a try?

If you know of any remedy for this condition (though I was told there was None) I would really appreciate hearing from other who may have found relief. Please respond.

Question by TinKerBel: Chronic eczema, possible infection now, what can I use over the weekend?
I have had eczema on my legs for years. I have never had an infection though and now I think I have scratched myself right into a skin infection. Red, hot, deep intense itching and pain, open sores. It’s not really bad yet, so I thought I could just put Polysporin on it over the weekend and then go to the doctor Monday if it’s not improved. Any “experts” out there? Is this ok, or am I going to make it worse?

Try not to scratch it anymore. Apply Polysporin twice a day. If swollen, elevate the area. You can apply ice x 20 mins to decrease itching and edema. See your doctor if it worsens.

I have chronic eczema, and I have found nothing that really helps it, at least not long term. It is an extremely dry, extremely itchy red rash, and no matter what my doctor’s try, nothing seems to last. I use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly as a moisturizer. I use prescription strength Lidex cream. I use Prednisone when it gets too bad, and I haven’t found anything to use which is helpful for the itch. Any suggestions would be welcome.
