Thread: Eczema

  1. #1

    Eczema

    I have a bad case of eczema at the moment but when i came out the shower and was combing my hair i noticed a bit of my scalp had come off. I normally have Eczema on my hands and feet but i was wondering if it might be a reaction ot the model paint i am using?
    I guess i should make an appointment to se my G.P. but wondered if you guys have it and know of any home cure. I am scratching my scalp like mad and i am worried i could make it worse.
    P.S.
    It was only a little bit of skin that came off, not a huge piece non the less you can see a red mark where the skin used to be.
    I do have cream for the Eczema, but it never goes away completely. My foot has a hug red mark on it as do one of my knuckles.
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    There's another one that comes in a black bottle but can't think of the name of it

    My mother suffered badly from eczema but can't remember if she had it in her hair.

    Get back to the Drs. When were you diagnosed with eczema? It could be something else eg psoriasis. Either way, I'm sure they should review your cream to make sure it's the right prescription

    Katie had dreadful baby eczema. The dr recommended using oilatum as a bath soap
