Hi, I am 35, and 2 1/2 years ago had a sudden worsening of my previously mild atopic eczema. I had a skin infection - my leg and airm hair fell off etc. I had infected eczema on 100% of my skin. I was treated in a hospital with wet wraps and triamicinolone cream. Triamcinolone was used daily on most of the body for 2 months. I still have signs of atrophy (in the beginning all my veins were visible in my legs etc). My hands are very thin and wrinkled (on my hands they also used a stronger steroid for a week because of pomphylox that was out of control - I noticed the thinning after the week). I previously had a very young looking, healthy skin. Now I am depressed because it is 1 1/2 years from the hospitalization (I have used nothing but hydrocortizone since and tried going long streches steroid-free) and my skin still looks "aged" (My skin tone looks uneven because you can see veins through, there are some spider veins and one spot (around an old scar) where the skin is completely white. I also have lax skin, some of it from scractching - most of that has reversed - but some from steroids).Is there any hope still that the damage would completely reverse? The thinning has made my skin super sensitive - I can't wear a bra or any restricting clothing, and I get hives when I handle food etc. I am really sad and upset with my Dr. that he did this to me, even though I was really worried about and was assured that it couldn't happen.
