Avatar n tn The type of medication prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type of eczema, past treatment, and the patient’s preference. Topical (applied to the skin) medication like mild steroids(hydrocortisone)to higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide) is frequently prescribed. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
Avatar m tn I would recommend that she see the dermatologist to try a different medication. My daughter has eczema of the finger tips (finger tips peel and get very sore but no itching, they can crack and bleed). Doctor's practice medicine, it is as much an art as it is a science. Frequently and with certain conditions, especially anything with an allergy tie, there is a lot of trial and error before the best treatment plan for the patient is found.
Avatar n tn I've been having numerous sexual encounters, but with the same person. I was single about a month ago at which point I had explored with two other partners. However I don't believe my problem is STD's or at least hoping not. I'm certain the partner I'm with is clean. My scrotum and just below the head of the penis has become extremely dry and is loosing elasticity over the two patches it's effecting.
Avatar m tn Yes I have this itchy scrotum. I'm on a medication that causes eczema. I can't stop taking the medication or else I won't have any place to live. The itching is in fact all over my body; but I learned that certain foods causes me to break out in hives in conjuction with the medication. The itching on my scrotum is forever constant. I've tried all kinds of anti-itch medication as well as 1% hydrocortizones. Nothing works on this itch. I mean no oils,lotions,body wash.
Avatar m tn Hello, One of the possibilities for your wife’s symptoms is of eczema. Eczema is term for a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated. Topical medication like mild steroids(hydrocortisone)to higher-potency steroid is frequently prescribed. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
Avatar m tn Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema.

Avatar f tn If it's a type of eczema, what he eats will make a difference. I have a different type of eczema, but the strategies will be the same. Google "eczema diet" or "what not to eat with eczema". Also, it matters what the skin comes into contact with. He may be allergic to sulfites. Check out the allergy community and look for the thread called "what else contains sulfites". There are some links within the thread for you to consider.

Avatar n tn hi i have eczema on my scrotum and i would like to find out if it is safe to apply fucicort cream on it.The fucicort cream was givn by my doctor to apply on my hands and legs. but recently, i have eczema on my scrotum and i am wondering if it can b applied on my scrotum, may i know will there be side effects?
Avatar n tn And one side effect is local atrophic skin changes. Unless the lesion is diagnosed as eczema, refrain from using any medication. Treatment is always based upon an individual's age, overall health status, and the type and severity of the condition. It would be best to have it further evaluated by your doctor. The goals for the treatment of eczema are to prevent itching, inflammation, and worsening of the condition.
Avatar m tn But if it is chronic skin condition then it may take some time for treatment. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. The type of medication prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type of eczema, past treatment, and the patient’s preference. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar m tn I started to take it and my eczema seemed to be under control. Starting in May the skin around my eyes (Where I primarily used the cream) started getting paler. I am a dark-skinned individual so it was evident what was happening. I read that steroid creams sometimes cause hypo-pigmentation so I decided to stop using the medication. As it currently stands, the area around my eye and a small part on my chin is slightly inflammatory.
Avatar n tn Hello, Apart from steroids which is basic treatment for eczema, topical emmolients to prevent moisture loss from the skin can be used because Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed but they are not used in children.
