In my previous post I posted some photos of my eczema before I started using any cream on it. This photo was taken 21 days after the last set during which I had been applying Eumovate cream 2-3 times per day every day. As you can see it has gotten much better.
Eczema 3 June 2009 photo #1
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!

My eyelids have been quite dry and itchy for a few weeks now but now next to my eye I have got a small patch of dry skin that looks suspiciously like eczema!
Eumovate, the cream I have been using says not to use it on your face as it can damage the skin which is a shame as it has worked wherever I have put it before. Hopefully it won’t develop into full blown eczema as I don’t think I’d be too happy with it on my face!
Just saw a TV advert for E45 cream for the first time and it mentioned it was used to treat eczema. I use it when my skin is dry and it helps with that but I’ve not had much success using it on my eczema.
HC45 cream on the other hand is much more useful for eczema but it is an over the counter cortisol cream so that is to be expected.
There are a number of products, a shower gel, cream etc.
I stumbled upon this item on amazon today. Its not the first thing I would think of to do with a photo of eczema. Maybe I should get some of my eczema pictures done!

Buy 40″ eczema print from Amazon, I think it would make a lovely gift!
…they pull me back in.
I posted a comment on a previous post saying how I was eczema free.
Looks like I spoke a bit too soon…
Just a little update so I can keep track of what’s going on…
I am still using the Eumovate cream on the initial patch on my hand.
I’ve got little spots of eczema on my forearms and upper arms which I am using the cream on to keep at bay.
I had a blister on my big toe which didnt heal and turned into eczema, the cream is keeping this away but I have to use it every day.
The skin on my cheeks is quite dry but is not eczema yet.
There is some suspicious looking dry patches of skin just infront of my ears but hopfully it won’t become eczema.
Summer is nearly here so hopefully that will help with the dry skin and maybe cure the eczema?
I am quite stressed at the moment as I am arranging a stag do and have a best man’s speech to give at a wedding in about a month. Plus I am skint as usual!
