Slightly off topic but…

I am having the worst eczema outbreak known to man, its everywhere!!! Started out on my legs, then went to my tummy, my back and now my arms and im soooooooo bloomin itchy!! Its driving me insane!! To make matters worse because i have false nails on they are bruising my legs when i scratch, and i dont just mean a little bit, i mean full on i look like ive been in a car crash bruises! Ive tried sudocrem, e45, eurax and now im trying the sunbeds but so far nothings working, anyone have any ideas? Any at all???? xx

I suffer from Eczema, it sounds to me like you need to go to the gp for some steroid cream to take inflammation down, you can get ones now with antibiotic in them, so if you have a little skin infection too it will get rid of that and calm it all down. I would also take some antihistamine to take the itch/ irritation away. Hope this helps xxxx

Oilatum emollient for the bath,this will ease the itching.xx

Thanks hun, ive got an appointment at the docs on tuesday morning ao fingers crossed he can give me something to help before i rip my legs off! lol. Theres anti-histamines in the eurax so dont know if i could take tablets as well? xxx

Ooh thanks tina, where can i get that from? xx

Eurax is topical so it would be fine to take a oral antihistamine see your local pharmacist for advice encase you have any sensitivities- Piriton and Benadryl are usually quite good. xxx

You can buy it from your local chemist but the doctor could also prescribe too,it may be cheaper at the local chemist.xxx

Thanks ladies, will get myself to the chemist sharpish! Ive even resolved to using my boyfriends hair clippers to scratch myself with cos my nails are too blunt….drastic action needs to be taken me thinks! lol xxx

my daughter suffers with eczema and she gets hydrocosone 1% through the gp but u can buy it over the counter not so strong but might help on a sunday xx

Hydrocrtisone is really good n works well for my partner who has severe eczema xx

Amy my lovely!!

Remember when i had that awful dry itchy rash?! i tried everything!!

my lovely sis in law then gave me some hydrocortzin (cant spell but its in white tube) u can buy it over.the counter. took the itch straight out and rash started to clear!!

it moisturises too. My friend then.had a patch of physriosis on her arm, i leant her some of this cream and her arm has heald!!

try it hun xx

Yeah I remember, glad it did the trick hun! I used to use it all the time and I think I got a bit immune to it but I’ll defo try it again, anythings worth a go! Will pop to the chemist and pick some up. It’s boobie day in 32 more sleeps so need clear skin by then or it will be a nightmare! How are you doing gorgeous fairy?? Xxx

Omg!! not long now then for u!! u excited?

im great hin! just counting down the days till my holiday!! cant wait!! xxx

I know, it’s flying by just like everyone said it would, so excited! Still got to yell my parents but that’s gonna happen a few days before I think. I already know their opinion and they wont change my mind so the less time for grief the better lol. Ooh where you goin to?? Xxx
