Eczema: allergic reaction similar to auto-immune where skin is in chronic inflammation.
Conventional treatment: steroid cream, prednisone... etc.
Are the medicines treating any cause? NO, its masking your symptoms with anti-inflammatory and steroid cream.
What is the long term effect? Your skin gets thinner and thinner cuz you never even treat the cause. Steroid thins your skin til a point where slight irritation will make it crack and bleed.
What is the cause? 20% genetic, 80% food allergy related.
how you can treat this? Get a blood allergy test, and start eliminating the allergenic foods that are bothering you.
Top allergens: dairy (milk cheese, etc), Soy, Citrus, Eggs, Wheat,
Being able to realize if your dermatologist is really treating your cause or are they really just a bunch of rich kids trying to manage symptoms can be crucial to your healing.
Believe me, I had eczema, I have been through this shit before, and i have lost faith in all of the drugs.
In conclusion (what cured me) : find your allergy (blood test, not skin prick test) , start elimination.
Our medical system is run by politician and pharmaceutical company, therefore our doctors are sometimes blinded by whoever sponsors them. The only thing i will trust my doctor will be surgery and emergency ER situation where our medicine is the best at saving lives.
You can think i am overreacting, but i just want you know i was in the same boat as you and it will never change unless you find your allergy.
