I often have dry, scaly patches on my legs but otherwise I'm generally eczema-free. Except during this pregnancy, it seems.
I have it all over my hands, and now on my feet. I think it is spreading to my ankles.
Can anyone give me some hints as to how I can relieve the itching safely? My Dr has given me a corticosteroid cream but if it is working, it is very slow in doing so! I have a couple of days of using the cream before we have to take a couple of weeks break from it.
I'm trying to remember to moisturise (esp my hands) as often as I can - at least a couple of times a day. Though this often makes the itching worse as it makes the surface warmer and it is more itchy when warm.
I am really not getting much sleep because the itching is dreadful. What do you use to relieve your eczema?
