Not getting better

Filed Under Eczema Treatment 

At the beginning of the 6th week, I started to find strange looking lesions on my hands and legs. I suspected fungal infection. I have been unable to stop itching and continue to wake up in the nights to scratch my hands and legs. My itching and scratching must have made things worse as I was pretty sure that bacteria would have gotten into my skin by now. I tried to wear gloves and long pants to sleep but to no avail. I changed my bedsheets everyday. This scenerio carried on for more than 3-4 weeks. Eventually, I hade no choice but to see a dermatologist.

The dermatologist confirmed my suspicion and prescribed me a course of antibiotics. She also gave me an antifungal cream for me to apply on my affected parts (lesions)
and advised me to continue to moisturise as much as possible. She was very sure that I will get better and that after this 2 weeks, I can get back to the natural treatments that I wish to pursue for my eczema.
