My children have this and the scares really don’t look like scars at all, but patches of thick skin and it really itchs. There is no cure or anything they just tell you to keep you skin mositizered really good and give you a cream to stop the itch.

Question by Michael: what if the military thinks i had eczema before i joined and i didn’t tell them about it?
It seems as someone from the medical staff put down on my records that I have been to a dermatologist for my eczema prior to the military. Even if it was true, could I get into trouble for having eczema before the military and not telling them about it? It kind of bothers me so i really need to know because i don’t want to get into trouble for something that isn’t true.

My son has had horrible eczema since he was two months old. He is going on 8 months now. I took him to a dermatologist a few months ago, and he suggested the “soak & smear” technique. This involves soaking him in a lukewarm bath with a small amount of bleach, and then immediately coating him with prescribed ointment and cream. I have done this, and it’s made a drastic improvement. However, my mother in law insists that I put oil, etc. on him when the doctor has advised against it. I’ve asked/told her not to use anything other than what has been prescribed and she continues to buy & apply oils, lotions, etc… Now, his skin is breaking out again and I don’t know what to do. My son is in her care while I’m at work. While I’m reluctant to put him in daycare, I’m concerned that she will never respect my wishes. Any ideas?

I went to an allergist a couple of days ago because I think I have an allergy to wheat. I have a continual itchy rash on my leg that spreads every time I eat wheat. Well she did a patch test and the test showed negative. She checked the rash and said it looks like contact dermatitis. Ok , I’ll buy that. So she gave me cortizone cream and lotions and I am using them and the rash is starting to clear up. The problem is I ate some wheat for lunch yesterday and the same rash an hour later now popped up on my inner arm. Can this happen? I have done every thing do solve the contact dermatitis (she says from the detergents and soaps). I’ve stopped using them. So why is this rash popping up on my inner arm now. I think I still have an allergy to wheat. Can this be?
OOPS she gave me a skin prick test not a patch test. Sorry.
