I have recently been through a huge amount of stress, which resulted in my violent ex being charged with my attempted murder. I'm pretty sure that it's all linked, but I've developed a patch of skin on one side of my face which resembles eczema. My nurse agrees.
I've tried using vitamin e cream to no avail. Does anyone have any miracle cures? I'm going on holiday with my particularly hunky friend this weekend, and don't want to keep covering it up with my hand, or concealer!
Thanks

Hello,
It may very well be eczema, in which case the advice to use hydrocortisone cream is good. There is a particular form of eczema called neuro-eczema which is related to stress.
When someone has a rash only on one side of the face, it raises the possibility of a mild fungal infection, and that would be another possibility if the above doesn't work. That wouldn't necessarily be related to your terrible experiences. A doctor should be able to tell you. There is a pic of a fungal infection of the face (the lower left jaw skin) at the link below.
Either way, I don't think it will get better within the time scale you require, it may take a week or two. Eczema is not catching, but a mild fungus infection is, a bit.
Hope this helps. Belliger (retired UK GP)

I've had Eczema problem over 3 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site
( http://eczemafreeforever.zano.info ), that my life changed completely. I'm feeling so much better now and all of my symptoms are totally gone. I haven't had an outbreak since using that info.

Your nurse should have told you that there is no cure for eczema. And you are right, it often flares up with stress. I do know that putting any type of oil will only cause it to get worse, because the problem is that when you have eczema, your skin attacks its own oil with acid and that is what causes the flaking. So adding oil only adds to the problem.
Also, lanolin can cause eczema to worsen, so stay away from products and make up which contain lanolin.
Many patients have great success with a prescription liquid called Desonide. It is oil-free and is used daily. Ask your doctor or dermatologist if it could be right for you.
I hope I've helped you.

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.
