im only 13 and have had eczema all my life. my eczema is so bad i cant even wear shorts. behind my legs is so sore when my eczema acts up. i have it everywhere. back, arms, stomach, legs. i hate it! my eczema is scabs and bumps. at least i can wear short sleeve shirts. around maybe 11 years old i got folliculitus (folliculitis). i dont have it on my arms anymore but i have it on my legs. i've been put on antibiotics for it twiceTwice-a-day and it comes back after im off it. (im not currently on antibiotics) right now my legs reallyyyyy hurt behind them. i use vaseline every day on my skin. sometimes i use bleach water in the shower to kill bacteria. (suggested by my dermatologist) the ointment i use is elidel. it is one of the most powerful ointments. it is blackboxed and can cause skin cancer i believe if not used properly. i hate to swim because it stingsSting-kill and i cry alot because of the pain. that makes me stressed which only makes me itch and breakout. can anyone help me with pain relief, a way to get rid of minor folliculitus (folliculitis), and eczema? please, i really need the help because im about to go to a summerSummers eve anti-itch camp in july and dont want to faceFace pain another year of embarassment.
