what to do about my skin condition?

by Mychrispy, Jun 18, 2009 02:39AM
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 twice 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 stings 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 summer camp in july and dont want to face another year of embarassment.


This discussion is related to Folliculitis or something else?.
