Hello,
Eczema is characterised by red, dry patches which are itchy. If the rash is non itchy then the diagnosis needs to be revised. It looks like some sort f dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis. The creams that you are talking about are topical steroids and they should be used minimally because they can thin the skin and cause increased fragility. Also they have to be tapered off. I suggest a dermatologist’s examination as it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis without examination.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
thanks, we are thinking of just stopping the prescription ointments for a while, see how it does, and using over the counter medications. I'm new to MedHelp, how do I get a dermatologists to reply???? I don't even know how I got in, "this discussion is related to black dots on shaft of penis and scrotum."!!!!!!! I couldn't easily find the ask a question green icon????
my daughter always had/has issues with that. taking 3/6/9/ omegas, Fish/flaxseed oil in capsals. Have always worked for what your describing, and yould could also try plain old zinc oxide, white ointment- over the counter.
hope it helps
