I have been taking the Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream which I got from Boots (OTC) for seven days and it has made a great improvement. I’ve taken the plaser off as its no longer bleeding or itching but it still looks a bit gross. I put the cream on the eczema on my arms which had only been there for about a week and its almost all gone.
The Hc45 should only be taken for seven days and those seven days are up but I’m going to continue for two more days as I’ve seeing the doctor then.
I’ve been avoiding using any kind of steroid cream all my life but am now kicking myself I left it so long to try them. I hope I am not jumping the gun and it doesnt stop working and the eczema comes back.

I’ve started to take some photos of the patch of eczema on my hand. It can sometimes be hard to tell if it is getting better or worse (depending on how much you scratch it) so the pictures will give me something to track my progress against. That should help me see what is helping and what is making it worse.
This was just when I’d started using a plaster to cover it:

After two weeks of wearing a plaster during the day you can see what appears to be contact dermatitis from the adhesive on the plaster:

Ten days on and its only getting worse:
The last photo was taken before I started using the Hc45 cream. Hopefully it won’t get any worse.
I have to cover it with a plaster but I do think the glue on the plaster is making it worse. There doesn’t seem to be any plasters that don’t use rosin which is a common cause of contact dermititus.

Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream
http://www.e45.com/main.asp?pid=3390
I bought some of this today from Boots. Its my first foray into cortisol based products. It says not to use it on broken skin but isn’t eczema broken skin? I put it on the patch on my hand anyways which although broken, was not an open wound. The directions state not to use it for more than seven days so I shall use it for a week and see what happen. I’ve also registered with a doctor so will go and see them once the paper work has gone through.
A Fish ate my Eczema!
Sounds like fun:
Dillon was so convinced by the fish that she spent the next six years, with her Turkish husband, setting up a clinic - Skin Therapy Ireland - to treat psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.

False Dawn
Although the patch on my hand has increased by about 300% over the past few weeks, yesterday it appeared to be clearing up a little. I felt happy for once as I had visions of it receding until it was gone. But the next day it was back to normal and as raw as before.
My main objective now is to join a doctor’s surgery and get an appointment so I can get some steroid cream.
Eczema Forum?
Is there one? I haven’t seen one that resembles a traditional, functional forum.
I think it would be a good idea and could be quite useful.
Anyone got any plans to set one up?
Allergic Contact Dermatitis
I have been using a plaster to cover the eczema on my hand as it is an open wound and could become infected, plus it looks rank. But it seems the glue on the plaster has given me dermatitis or more eczema. The patch is the perfect shape of the plaster so it seems pretty likely.
more info on allergic contact dermatitis and a photo of what it looks like.
Does anyone know of any plasters that do not use rosin or colophony for their adhesive?
