Eczema

I've been diagnosed with RA for 7 years now and between medication and exercise manage it well. However, recently I've noticed I've had several bouts of eczema which usually clear up quite quickly with hydrocortisone cream from the pharmacy. The current one though on my foot is taking ages even though I moisturise regularly. Anyone else experience this?

Please don't try any creams without speaking to your GP. Give them a ring I'm sure they can prescribe something.
