Eczema Treatment Care

i tried using dermatitis lotions even saw the specialist but still having the same problems after 2 weeks. Its effected my my work and performance. please advise

I have been to the Doctor and had patch tests done but they all seem to be useless and the doctors aren’t listening to me when i explain whats happening. i don’t know what is causing it, but i need something in the mean time to help with the pustules, sores, crusting and weeping. its really painful. please someone help!

it is very irritating. Really though, I had it and still get it every now and then, something (we have not figured it out yet) I come into contact with during the spring and summer sets it off, and it really reminded me of poison ivy or oak. I had to get a steroid to take care of it.

so i have this obsession with belts but i’ve recently found out that i’m allergic to the nickel on belts (a lot of my belts have the metal studs)
i really don’t want to stop wearing belts i feel strange when i haven’t got one on – plus they keep my jeans up lol -
so basically
does anyone know if you can get belts that have the metal studs on but maybe not made out of nickel?? and if so where can i get them from, as i’ve asked in the shops i usually get my belts from and they look at me like i stabbed there mothers!!
also is there any cream other than hydrocortisone ointment that can clear up contact dermatitis as it really burns my skin when i use it

I have eczema on opposite sides of my mouth (on the left edge and on the right). I didn’t have a real problem with it until I went to the Philippines over the summer in ‘07, and it just got so agitated and red as I had no remedy on hand, and mistakenly tried using chapstick to calm it down (to keep it from flaking, etc), which really made it worse.
I managed to see an on-hand doctor on campus and she prescribed the hydrocortisone cream. She warned me not to use it unless necessary as it is a steroid cream, but I find it hard to live without on a using it every other day, every other two days at longest. After such, the areas start to get red, irritated and itchy again.
Is it really that bad to continue using the cream? It definitely keeps it at bay. I kinda just want to just stick with it until it possibly dies off altogether.
