Eczema

[YoYoMa88]

Please tell me more about this. I'm syarting to get scared. Been having this for a month or so already. When it first happen i thought normal to scratch as I've always been doing it. After awhile it keeps coming back until now my balls start to smell damn bad and itch progressively becoming a vicious cycle.

How did you solve this issue or live through it?

Pharmacist advise to apply thin layer of steroid cream/lotion only on the affected spots (twice a day) as skin will thin out. Stop after problem eased. Steroid not use like Mopiko or Tiger Balm.

After 10mins, apply moisturizer over.

Frequent use of steroid will cause thinning of skin. Some do not have thumb prints after long term contact with steroids.

Steroid will not work permanently. My daughter suffered this for the last 12 years until now we have a permanent solution. I can share what we do privately if u keen to discuss further? Do let me know what your email address is and I’ll PM you k...hope to help.

Good stuff can share openly.

Children can outgrow eczema.

Just as adults may get eczema later in life.

That is what Dr says and it makes sense.

share openly and let the public judge for themselves. I will be very cautious of that post. Always seek a licensed medical practitioner for help

Nope. But my friend say make your skin drier.

I tot loratadine is an antihistamine, usually given for cold. So u take at night to reduce itch?

Can't remember how much it cost. I did one session, the itch because even worse after the session. I never went back for a second session, nor to NSC again.

Can you share with me too? was advice not to use steroid as it will result in thinning of skin.

I used to take hydroxyzine that will knock you out and sleep through the night. Dr told me the rationale is simple ,reduce your itch -scratch cycle so that skin can heal . The reason why skin won't heal is because you scratch at night and break skin barrier .

Anyone using protopic cream ?is it useful ?

 

[Swordsman]

i don't have eczema but i have eczema's cousin Psoriasis which is even worse.

Has anyone tried tangs medical clinic at Bugis cube?

Went there for the first time was given 4 tubes of cream and consultation cost me $90. Subsequent visits will cost quite a lot for the medicine plus was told that it will take a few years to fully recover

it's work but is not miracle fast. you need at least 6 months to 1 year then see effect. if u only see for 1, 2 months, then better don't go. i can't keep up with the cost eventually after 8 months.

$400+ per month is very chor.

for my case only medicine, cream doesn't help much.

 

[Swordsman]

I am on dupixent for the past year, the cost is around $1.4k a jab and I need to take 2 jabs per month.

Cost is fortunately covered by my company. The medication works wonder and I am not on any steroid creams/ oral medication. I just apply moisturisers twice a day and feel like a normal person otherwise.

End of the day, dupixent is still a suppressant and not a cure. It does come back if I go more than 2-3 weeks without the jabs. Once, my company stops covering it, I will be back to MTX more likely.

mtx no good for liver.. too much toxicity.

 

[Swordsman]

anyone try those China creams similar to above?

eventually the effectiveness wear off, like the body like automatically know how to build up resistance to resist the effects.

Is hydroxyzine addicitive?
