I have suffered eczema all my life & now being 63 have found many ways to manage it effectively.
One of the things i have discovered is you need to use your creams/ medication straight away when needed.
My eczema was very bad as a child, slightly better as a teenager & once i had visited a dermatologist at 16, it improved a lot & i have been able to manage it ever since.
I also have allergies which in spite of many hospital visits (& tests) they have not discovered all of the things i am allergic to but i now understand things better.
I always have a very bad rash on my the back of upper thighs when i go on holiday, but now i cover my legs up when sitting on outside chairs & it seems to stop it. i must be allergic to holidays !!!!
My message is dont give up, especially if you are young & suffering. It does change as you get older. Also if you suffer unkind remarks at school etc., it does get better & one day like me you may be referred to as an ugly duckling who turned into a beautiful swan (by a boy at my old school)
