Since mine was so bad, I had to get UV treatment for 3 months to get it under control. Now I'm using multiple different prescribed creams/ointments (non steroid!) and it hasn't flared up like it did before.

I HIGHLY recommend the skin care centre. previously the other doctors I saw were old school, and prescribed steroids, steroid creams, etc, which were not useful for me.

Good luck in getting it under control!
I would love to know where u had why for the allergy test!!! I don't have a family doctor, maybe I should just go into the walkin clinic at superstore??
