Eczema Treatment Care

Question by purplejasminepaige: I have a rash that looks like eczema. What over the counter cream would be best to use?
THIS RASH IS USUALLY SEASONAL. I CAN USE A CORTIZONE CREAM AND IT GOES AWAY. THIS IS NOT WORKING ANY MORE. IT’S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

Call your local pharmacy they will be able to recommend the best thing for you to use for that. Plus, if you describe it or show them they will know exactly what it is and what you need to get for it.

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?

She is four months old and is constantly scratching her head.
She has been to the doctor when the rash was only on her face and he said that it was eczema but since she has the same rash/patches on her head and chest and some on elbows.

I thought it was eczema. It looks like little spots of his hair is missing or there are little white spots that you can see right through the hair. Its started on his head and now its on his back also. Does anyone know what it could be?

I do have eczema in the areola of the breast, a small pinky patch in the areola is itching and also the surrounding area, the pinky patch looks a bit rough at touch. The Doctor assured me is eczema. Does eczema of the breast looks like this? Thanks for answers
