Then, of course, there is the newer range of topical medications which are essentially immunosuppressants.

However, nothing prepared me for the eczema outbreak I had in Yr 2007.

Emotional....

And the picture that you saw right at the top of this site was taken of my legs at the height of my eczema outbreak.

Same here.

My Eczema Story I've always had eczema since young.

After spending a ton of money, I quickly found out that there is no such thing as a miracle cure .

I have lived with bleeding scars on my legs, from a case of mild to moderate eczema for most parts of my life.

I could barely sleep for 6 months as I would wake up itching and scratching away.

With the daily use of the cortisone cream during each outbreak and for many years, I started noticing how thin the skin on my legs looked, how I bruised instantly by simply pressing on the skin and how I tire easily.

The eczema on my legs became weapy .

Oh yes.I definitely understand the pain and suffering from having eczema; afterall, I've got eczema for more than 30 years.

It soon spread to many parts of my body, including my hands, neck and back.

However, if you have been using these, you must be aware that this treatment poses risks.

From a small area on my legs, my eczema became worse and worse as I repeatedly fail to arrest the outbreak.

However, you are exposing yourself to a number of diseases, including cancer, because your immune system is relatively weakened.

There are now reported cases of cancer arising from the use of these medications and pending lawsuits against the big pharmaceutical companies responsible for manufactering them.

They have been marketed as safe as they are non steroid based.

Immunosepressants acts by suppressing your immune response, thus reducing inflammation and the symptoms of eczema.

It didn't dawn on me about finding out more about eczema on my own.

Instead, I used corticosteroids or hydrocortisone creams everytime I had an outbreak which happened often.
