I've frequent problems with my skin and head -- they are very itchy and when I scratch a bit there appears to be many small pieces of dry skin peeling off like snow flaks. There are rashes on my face, too. I took anti-histamine on a rotation basis (switching types/brands) but it seems to me that my body/skin does not respond to these once very effective drugs. Now my doc has no choice but to give me a steriod drug called "Xepasone" together with the use of U-triamcinolone-G cream. I want to know more about the pros and cons of these drug but I can find nothing in the internet. I don't know whether my question fits in here or not but I do want some advice from a third party. I know this sort drug CANNOT be used on a prolong basis but I can't live without it these days. What can I do? I can't addict to this drug.
