" Well not sure yet. Out of all the people I have helped, I have a couple of women who get it on their face. And for the life of me, we can get it down, but constant war, and hangs in there.
Well one works as a nurse. The other day one of the doctors told her he thought it looked like rosatia, gave her a script, she is in process of having it made up.
Anyways looked like the rest of the eczema to us.
I wonder about the hyper sensitivity of skin there. Beings as the skin wall is so thin. And all of us have made the mistake of going to the doctor and getting roided.
Oh my, I think he prescribed a topical anti biotic, and steroid mix for her. "

" No, the lady, friend whom I was helping knowledge wise is a nurse.
I really don't know about the derm.. Never met one that helped me, or anyone I've talked to. You should see a naturopath, and even they are all not created equal.
Plus I think this is gonna come from within as well. One bacteria leads to another ya know?
But yea, time will eventually heal the skin from the cortizone thing. After some control is gained over the "eczema".
OK, completely off subject. Did you do a Pro-active commercial once? Cause your avatar looks just like one of those girls. "

" I have facial Eczema and i have used paw paw ointment around my eyes in the past it does add moisture back in but at the momment im using a mixture of things one is 1 percent hydro and the other is some kind of tar thing that helps, When my skin is good again i use cliniques skin care range which doesnt seem to argrivate my skin, till the eczema comes back and then its hydro cream again "

" You know Nicole, the cortizone WILL also cause eye damage, plus countless other internal problems. Yes even the topicals are absorbed. "

" I have found the cure for Eczema!!! Well nmay be not a cure but something very close to it. Several people in my family have this affliction and all of have tried this and it has has amazing effects on us all. Shea Butter!! Try going to www.sheaterraorganics.com, I have been using this and my skin is so soft and the lesions are DRAMATICALLY reduced after two days of use. Hope you all try it and let it help you. Oh and pure shea butter is better. Don't buy lotion with shea butter, it won't have the same great healing benefits. "
