cyclosporin is used in organ transplant so as to reduce tissue rejection...it's very strong...

a few years back i tested for allergy.. found out im allergic to prawn but not crab or cod fish.. so i strictly stay off prawns ever since..

mine is come and go one leh sometimes very bad, sometimes bad..

im thinking if its because never eat enough of what food or vitamins.. like wad omega 3 or vitamin c..

The doc always says that never apply it unless there r rashes lor.. It will cause skin thinning over time if u abuse it.. N u might be immuned overtime resulting u needing a stronger cream...

yesh di...the skin thinning is why i never appry it at all
only when its really bad...

now my one still quite mild. its not visible but i can feel the peeling...

allergy testing is expensive. i test for 3 or 4 things.. each test is like $15++ even after subsidy? i heard my colleague go send her children for allergy testing is like 500+ for a comprehensive allergy testing.. so ex sia

but anyway, its said that allergy sometimes got nothing to do with your eczema(depending on conditions..) and that allergy can come and go(something more to do with body immunity).. so.. normally doctors dont immediately send you for allergy testing...

Hay...i am allergic to fish oil capsule... Doc only prescribe Vit C to moi.. seems pretty good n cheap too. Take lots of fruits n veg lor...

i read around somewhere saying omega 3 from fish oil can help skin condition, so i went GNC wanted to buy.. then the SA talk talk talk say omega 6 more effective(but omega 6 is common in daily diet)

so in the end i never buy anything... better go see my doctor and ask if got effect or not.

yeah, i usually dont eat fruits, trying to eat some everyday now for the vitamin C hope will improve and less breakouts
