Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I thought at one point that excema was a side effect of asthma/allergies or a skin allergy that they just don't know the cause of yet. For many years now, I have had a slightly brownish grey rash right above my upper lip and on my chin. I have dark skin and on me it looks like I need to wipe some hot chocolate off my face. I can cover it pretty well with makeup. Some women at the cosmetic counter took one look and said it was ezcema. It doesn't itch, doesn't look like typical ezcema. Sometimes it gets dry and flaky, and improves(the flaking) quite a bit when I'm on steroids, but comes right back after the steroids wear off. My doctor prescribed triaveinelene? cream 0.17% (sorry, I can barely read her writing) I noticed that my skin in general is very clear when on the steroids.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 A friend of mine (a non-Samterite) has eczema and in particular has it really bad on one thumb cuticle, to the point where she cannot grow a normal nail. Her doctor tried treating it with topical steroids which didn’t help much and is now treating it with injected cortisone. My friend said she could notice a difference in it a day later, it was less red. So, based on that little tiny bit of knowledge I have, it sounds like systemic steroids could help something like that and may explain why it gets better when you take them. So maybe the cream will help! I hope this helps some…? K. samters and ezcema?
