Eczema Treatment Care

Okay, so most of you people have probably heard of the skin condition eczema or also called Atopic Dermatitis. Well, I have eczema, and in fact I have had it since the day I was born. I have a really bad case of it and until today I still have it, its gotten a lot better but its still bad. I am 15 now if that helps.There are times where it is worse than others. And right now happens to be one of those times.I go to National Jewish Research Hospital for my eczema and they really help, I have been going there since I was a little girl. I have a special ointment that I have to put on my hands and feet, and I also take a medicine at night that helps me sleep and not itch all night until I itch my skin raw. Well, unfortunately, last night I did what I was supposed to do, by putting on my ointment and taking my medicine. But it didn’t help me at all last night. I woke up with sore’s and cracks all over my hands and feet, and it was worse than the day before. I am just worried that my ointment and medicine won’t help again. I was up all night last night and I basically only got three hours of sleep. I don’t want a repeat of last night, tonight. I don’t have my next appointment at NJRH until the 13th of April. And I just dont know what else I can do in the meantime. Its really bothering me because it hurts sooooo bad to walk. It even hurts when I sit. So I just was wondering if there was any suggestions of things that I can do to help me sleep at night until I go back to the doctor. Also, please don’t recomend doing things like wet socks, we have tried that before, and yes it does sometimes work, but most of the time I itch the socks of and then itch myself raw still. I just can’t stand this pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I have lived with the skin condition eczema for all my life, the atopic variety , i have allergies and asthma too.
In child hood it was chronic affectevanescenceacks of my knees, my arms and torso
In my teens it began to go away and only flared on occasion. However, it did begin to show on my face and chest more .
When I was 19 it completely went away and I could wear make up for blemishes I still got itchy but my skin never seemed to flare up
but now it has come back in my 20s really bad on my face neck and chest the kind of areas most noticable to people.
Last year i had a serious skin infection to the back of the knees that affected my mobility. The skin was so raw i could not walk. My GP (who is v lazy) prescribed steriods over the phone as he couldnt be bothered to see me but as it was infected , the infection took over my whole body .
Luckily , when i was taken to hospital, a student doctor was in and took a keen interest to solve it. After many anti biotics and anti biotic creams and strong steriods the skin began to heal .
However, my main problem is the chronic dryness . I get really embarrased because i have skin flakes falling off me all the time.
My face is really flared as is my hands. I find it hard to move because my hands are cracked and have cuts all over them so doing things like the washing up is V painful .
As for my emotional well being, my last employer sacked me for taking too much time off (when i complained to HR about disability discrimination) they changed their story and said that i wasnt reaching targets which was not based on the amount of hours i worked but the time i was emplyed for so therefore it was unfair as i was off for a long time.
I called the benefits office and the woman on the other end of the call laighed and told me that eczema doesnt stop me working and told me to get a job. Also, the people at the disablity living allowence sent an independant GP out to look at me. As, i wasnt that bad he told them that there was nothing wrong with me and i could work .
As a result of being sacked and not getting any benefit i am behind on all bills and stress is making it all worse. I went back to my doctor and he wont refer me to a dermotologist till august.
What can i do? i fell the nhs and the well fare sytem added to any potential employers are not giving me support. Im at my wits end and im in constant pain. I know this sounds weak but i sometimes think i think whats the point in life when im stuck in this circle of unhappiness.
