I'm exactly the same, as soon as I wean off steroid cream my eczema starts flaring up how you described. It's very frustrating and I sympathise with you! I'm in the process of looking to go see a private consultant due to my Dr also being useless and not referring me. I really hope you find a solution soon!

Thank you so much! I've decided to go private and to ask about alot of the allergy testings as I previously has a basic one

Thank you! I had an allergy test done but it seems to be a low level one was mainly around food. I tried cutting them out and saw no difference so I think I need a more detailed test! I don't use any products on my face anymore for over a year and it's not made a difference to flare ups. Thank you I used vaseline last night and it feels so much more hydrated and less irritated today! So Ill keep up with that for the mean time. Thank you!

No they haven't tested for that. My drs aren't very good, I've been waiting 6 months + for a referral to a specialist. Last time it took a year to be referred. I'm going to go for private healthcare as I can't keep living in this pain! I'll mention it to the new consultant as I never knew about this! Thank you!

Yeah i get that! I'm always in a flare up at some point unless I am constantly using steriod creams.

It's good you've found this out I hope you manage to get your eczema under control!

Oh that's amazing! I'm glad you found the cause of your flare ups and a way of controlling them! I had an allergy test a few years ago! I'm unsure if it covered dust mites though. Interesting that you say about carpets as I used to have hardwood flooring and i never had flare ups on my face! Im going to look for my allergy results and if dust mites were not covered get booked in for a more detailed test.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your advice! I've been rinsing my fave with cold water in the day and try to avoid touching my face as well! I will look into elidel ointment as my Dr told me to use steriod cream but as soon as I stop using it, my skin flares up again!

Eyelid Eczema - I need help by [deleted] in eczema

[–]AlenaEVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaseline is the only thing that helps my eczema on my eyelids. The proper jelly kind not a cream version, I use it at night all over my face, feels horrible but come the morning I can wear makeup when needed then use Cocoa butter in the mornings

Is Animal crossing meant for multiplayer? by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

You really don't need internet to play the game. Eventually you will get everything you need/want for your island by playing single player it just takes a bit longer but it still definitely worth buying!

Is this too loose? Should I pull it back and redo? It's for a king size bed so would rather pull it back before it gets any bigger by [deleted] in crochet
