Eczema Treatment Care

Question by TravelingGal: Does eczema leave a discolored white scar?
I had a rash that I believe was eczema. Reason, I’ve had mild cases of it for years, but this year, I got it on my arm and after it went away, it left a pinkish white colored scar. I barely scratched it, but for some reason, the area looks white.

I have suffered from eczema since i was 5. I get these pinkish white scars too. They do fade away but they are usually more noticable when i am tanned and often when they fade away the area is white and the rest of my arm is tanned. If you have a tan this could be the reason the area looks white.
If you are really worried i would advise visiting your doctor to make an appointment with a dermatoligist. I had one a few years back and it was brilliant.

i don’t have really bad eczema, its just annoying. but when i try and use moisturizers, i start breaking out with acne. but when i use something to heal the acne, then it makes the eczema worse. is this med cream stuff going to help? please help me!

I had an eczema breakout in this past summer. This is the first time I’ve had eczema. I’ve put cortisone lotion and other products to reduce the itch and rash, but now I am left with white patches the size of quarters on the back of my knees. It is now March, and they haven’t disappeared. What should i use to reduce the appearance, and help the spots fade?

thanks for your time!

Its a serious problem and its only getting worse, i went to a dermatologist and got some cream no help there, then i went to wallgreens for some cortaid( friends said it worked)well it did’nt and i have no other place to go. My health is great I don’t eat junk food or anything like that, but this dang eczema won’t go away i even take fish oil capsules daily. This problem makes me crazy. How in the world do you cure this if i tried almost everything. I heard people cure it through health, but what does that mean? any remedies with immediate results? I just played basketball outside and i sweated a whole lot( i know sweat can be one of the causes) and in that short time my spots got bigger, so there has to be a way to have it subside just as fast as it grew on me. I would like to thank all of you that answer in a truly honest and helpful way Thank you
these spots are on my back and starting to grow on my face….

It’s warm to touch and itches and stings. Been to three doctors and they say its contact dermatitis. Used a cream and it goes away and comes back, always in the same spot! Help!
