How do I get rid of facial eczema?

I have recently been through a huge amount of stress, which resulted in my violent ex being charged with my attempted murder. I'm pretty sure that it's all linked, but I've developed a patch of skin on one side of my face which resembles eczema. My nurse agrees.


I've tried using vitamin e cream to no avail. Does anyone have any miracle cures? I'm going on holiday with my particularly hunky friend this weekend, and don't want to keep covering it up with my hand, or concealer!


Thanks

Hello,





It may very well be eczema, in which case the advice to use hydrocortisone cream is good. There is a particular form of eczema called neuro-eczema which is related to stress.





When someone has a rash only on one side of the face, it raises the possibility of a mild fungal infection, and that would be another possibility if the above doesn't work. That wouldn't necessarily be related to your terrible experiences. A doctor should be able to tell you. There is a pic of a fungal infection of the face (the lower left jaw skin) at the link below.





Either way, I don't think it will get better within the time scale you require, it may take a week or two. Eczema is not catching, but a mild fungus infection is, a bit.





Hope this helps. Belliger (retired UK GP)How do I get rid of facial eczema?
Hydrocortisone cream clears mine up very quickly, within a day or two. You can get it at any drugstore.
I've got the same thing but on my feet. My doctor prescribed Fucibet cream. Its an anti-inflammatory with steroids.
Your nurse should have told you that there is no cure for eczema. And you are right, it often flares up with stress. I do know that putting any type of oil will only cause it to get worse, because the problem is that when you have eczema, your skin attacks its own oil with acid and that is what causes the flaking. So adding oil only adds to the problem.


Also, lanolin can cause eczema to worsen, so stay away from products and make up which contain lanolin.


Many patients have great success with a prescription liquid called Desonide. It is oil-free and is used daily. Ask your doctor or dermatologist if it could be right for you.





I hope I've helped you.
