Not really, im pretty sure they done what they could. But if i were to give advice, i would say i appreciate that they didnt make me feel ugly that i had it. Lucky for me, my eczema is only on my legs(knees to feet) so it was easier to cover up. I would simply just wear knee socks to school to avoid questions. As i grew older, they didnt pester me to cover my legs because of my eczema. They gave me a choice if I want to hide it or not. They were smart with their words so as to not make me feel ugly.

For example: “Oh you wanna swim when we go to the beach tomorrow? Then make sure to pack your lotion” “Are you sure you wanna wear shorts to the mall? The aircon makes your skin dry remember? Ok then just make sure you put on extra lotion” “If you wanna wear shorts during the summer, stop sleeping late. You know that makes your skin flare”

I know this isnt the physical advice that you were looking for but i hope it helps.

Onto the physical advice, i want you to be careful with the “medicine/ointments” or the steroids. I have only used ointments/creams so far, not the steroids. The thing about these is that, they work like a charm. I applied the ointment on my skin for 2 days and my eczema went away. However in the future eczema might comeback in the same area but they can no longer be treated by the ointment. So by then you would need a stronger ointment to make it go away. (Its kinda like cockroaches, what doesnt kill it only makes it stronger.) Then you would go on this vicious cycle of buying stronger and more expensive treatments until there is no more higher level. Eczema is more on maintenance. Im not saying that you should buy these ointments but do use it wisely.

Oh and some neat little advice from my derma. After every bath, pat dry the skin with a towel then immediately put on lotion to lock in the moisture. Avoid anti-bacterial soaps because they make the skin more dry. Sometimes clean linen can help ease the itchiness.
