Eczema

[VolleyballQt07]

Does anyone else have eczema? I've had it for a few years and it's bad now. I was just wondering if anyone else has had it or has it and what you've done to treat it.

Thanks,
Brit

eh yup i've had it since i was 4...so about 11 years...

I got this lotion stuff the doctor gave me. it works really well for when i have sudden like breakouts of it...

Luckly my exzema is only on my leg so i can cover it but it doesn' tan during the summer or ever...so i have a biggg pale spot..

I have it. But I have lotion for it that i allpy every day twice a day, so I dont really get it anymore. I've had it since I was 6.

I have it!
I have hydrocortisone cream.

I have it on my inner elbows and on my right elbow.
It's not so bad for me... it just itches. A lot. I try not to scratch but I do anyways. Any sort of moisturizer clears it up a bit for me.

I have a form of dermatitis (eczema) mildly on my upper (outside) arms. The doctor gave me some cream stuff but it doesn't work. It's not dry or itchy actually. It looks more like permanent goose bumps.

It mildly runs in the family, my aunt and cousins all have it on there arms.


Actually I just looked at it, I can barely see it anymore.

I used to have it. I haven't had it in at least 4 years now.

I had it but it went away but i use to have it really bad on my inner elbows and my knees. I will sometimes get flare up during soccer cause i sweat and its dry but normally it just itches and doesnt actually get a rash.

I have two kinds of Eczema named lotions that burn like hell so I try not to use those and I have another called Curel(i think) for extra dry skin and that sorta works.

I have it really bad though. I have a small patch on my left leg that is going away. I have it on both arms, wrist to shoudler. It's really bad on the inside part of my elbow. I have it on my stomach. And on the back of my neck. It sucks. And since I'm active with volleyball sweat irritates it.

So ok, I'm not the only one with it. My friends have never heard of it. I thought I was an oddball. But I'm not.

I'm sorry.

I used to have this cream that I used and couldn't go out in the sun too long with. That helped on those PE days.

I actually looked and mines really really mild. If you weren't looking you couldn't see it.

Buttttttt, when we had foster kids we had this one little girl (2 yrs old) who had it really badly all over her body. Every single night we had to rub her down in two different prescription creams. Poor baby.

I used too, but I healed it with Calamine Lotion..

Ugh so last night I was looking for that evil cream that I said burns like hell and guess what! We don't freaking have it anymore. So I used that Curel crap and I went to bed with no red rash it was like gone and then I wake up and thr stupid rash is back. I am sooooooooo mad!

what is ecxema?

 

[bookworm93]

I normally get it around the inside of my elbow...I noramally use cortizone 10 cream.

 

[VolleyballQt07]

what is ecxema?

Its a really annoying rash. It can be caused from too much sun exposure or a change in temperature(winter) and a few other things. You can get it anywhere on your body. I get it on my arms, stomach, legs, neck, and back. If you itch it, it burns like all get out and you want to itch it more.

Try Calamine Lotion. I have twin cousins who have Eczema. No offence, but when I look at them, I feel tingly because if they are itchy they scratch it until it turns all white and bubbly 0_o
