eczema

teade

So I just got what I thought was fungus checked out, and my doctor said it was probably eczema. She prescribed fluocinonide, which is a steroid?

I was wondering if I should use it or if it will end up making my problem worse...

any experience? or help? greatly appreciated.

eczema is usually caused from food allergies or from dry skin. You might want to try to rehydrate with shea butter or coconut oil after bath/shower. Also, if there are any new foods that you've been eating around the time you first discovered the eczema, stop eating them and see if it helps.

If I remember correctly, according to Enzyme Nutrition book, eczema is caused by inability for lipase enzyme to digest fat. So, eat/use raw fat which should have the lipase enzyme.

Awesome. Thanks. I kind of feel like I was misdiagnosed (I hate doctors, lol)

Its not red and its not dry...but I guess it doesn't have to be?

I'll try all that.

It started out small, then grew to about an inch and smaller patches close by, so I wasn't even aware it could spread.

I'm going to go back (or to another doctor) and ask that they LOOK at it.

My doctor just glanced.
