Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with eczema but the treatment does not help. I develop itchy, dry rashes mainly on the inner thighs with patches on the forehead. Eventually these rashes get dry and scaly and won't stop peeling and when they heal there is a lack of pigment in the area which lasts for months. I was recently in India and treated with medtronidazole for a parasite which cleared up the rashes for about 6 months but now it is back worse than ever. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn In past,I remember having similar problem but at that time the itching was limited to just a couple of fingers. I did consult a dermatologist at that time and he said it was eczema. It was cured in a weeks time. Howver, now its all the fingures including front and rear of the palm. 2. Dark and Hard Knuckles: I have also developed dark and hard knuckles over the past couple of years. Is this due to malnutrition?

In my opinion you should talk to a cosmetologist/dermatologist about this and get these warts evaluated. I hope it helps.
1221025 tn?1266842580 Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of eczema. In most cases of eczema no one treatment will be effective. Medical research shows that the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes(prevention of triggers and application of lots of moisturizers) to control flare-ups. My sincere advice is to follow up the treatment that you have been prescribed by your dermatologists.
Avatar m tn Today I saw my doctor who was quite refreshed from rest at home. He recommended two treatment options, one is injection once a week and the other is baraclude by mouth once daily. Because the former has side effects that may cause me (the bread earner of my family) to stop working, I immediately chose the latter, which costs $2200 per 90 days. Would appreciate your sharing your experience if you have used baraclude before. Thank you.
