To all people who have used topical steroid creams for eczema or dermatitis long term?

You know. the creams and lotions to relieve eczema and some other skin conditions. Anyways what medication have you used, and for how long? How old were you at the time you used it? Especially if you used it for 2years plus let me know have you noticed any side affects. People please answer, or get someone you know who falls in any of these categories to answer. I would appreciate it so much.|||Some eczema treatment products have been causing harm to the skin and thus causing more skin irritation. try to use an all natural eczema treatment which contains only essential and natural ingredients are safe and effective as skin disorder remedy.





having been exposed to soaps, deodorants and cleansers can trigger eczema. it is not weird that eczema can be breaking out at some point in your life. it can come anytime because it is caused by a skin irritant.





keep your skin hydrated by drinking a lot of fluids and using an all natural moisturizer. avoid skin irritants and rough and scratchy clothes. avoid being exposed to perfumes and fragrant skin care. be careful not to scratch your skin, cut fingernails as soon as possible. visit http://www.skinoriginal.com for more tips to avoid eczema flares|||If you have insurance, see about pursuing UV-light-based therapies (phototherapy) for your eczema. These are some of the most promising. There are many different types of steroid lotions, and they are classified as low-potency, medium-potency, and high-potency. The potential for side effects depends on which steroid lotion you%26#039;re using. Long-term use can result in thinning of the skin -- *however*, if your condition is being monitored by a dermatologist and he/she continues to recommend the treatment, you should be ok as the treatment is being recommended because the benefits are considered as being better than the risks.





If you%26#039;re seeing a general physician, he/she may not be aware of newer or more advanced treatments, like UV-light therapies for eczema. Elidel is an option, but it is expensive (as a previous user stated), and it has also been implicated as a possible cause of skin cancer. So, using it would really depend on the severity of your eczema.





There are also many self-care / home-care approaches that you can use to minimize eczema. You should find a dermatologist who can advise you with information on these. I%26#039;ve also included a link below. Good luck!

I%26#039;ve never noticed side effects, but they lose their effectiveness over time so you need to use more and more. Currently I%26#039;m on the non-streroidal, Elidel, but it can be pricy. Effective so far, though. No big side effects there, either, except a hot red flushed face when I drink alcohol.
