Eczema on my Thumb Joint
A few years ago I posted photos of the eczema on my right hand just below where my thumb starts. Using Eumovate cream I managed to get rid of that patch of eczema after many months of use. It went quite quickly once using the cream but if I stopped it would come back just as quick. But after a year or so it stopped coming back. Now I have another patch on the same hand but a bit closer to my thumb on the thumb joint. I went on holiday and didn’t take my Eumovate cream with me and after a week the patch of eczema had gotten quite big. Here are some photos of it as its peak. Enjoy!

Another Little Patch of Eczema
Small Patch of Eczema on my Inner Upper Arm
Nothing much really but its a new eczema site. Hopefully the Eumovate cream will quickly reduce it and keep it away for a while.

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.
