way too itchy

by lee7, Feb 03, 2009 04:42PM
For several years I have had a sort of swimmers ear, with itchy, weepy skin inside my left ear canal. Sometimes cortizone cream will help relieve it for awhile but it always returns again. Now, I seam to have this same condition around my rectum (and hemmoroids (hemorrhoids)). It is VERY VERY itchy and disturbs my sleep . After scratching the area it weeps . Do you have any remedies? I have used cortizone cream but it does not work for long.

It's probably eczema. There is no cure and no one seems to care how much it destroys your life. Not trying to be sarcastic, just tired of dermatologist who act like it's just a minor itch.
The one thing you can't do is itch. I know don't breath either. When you scratch it makes it worse. You need to keep the area moisturized.
I wouldn't use steroids, they just make it worse. When you use steroids you need to use them constantly to get the affect. You also require more and more to get the same affect.
People with eczema need to fight for more funding towards a cure.
