Eczema or Atopic Dematis

[schellen]

I agree with cookie77cookie. After seeing GP for a few times on different occasions for my DD’s red, itchy bumps, and receiving various creams for it, there was still no improvement. So in the end, we made an appt at the National Skin Centre. The specialist there diagnosed that my DD was suffering from hives brought about by insect bites. After receiving another cream for it which actually worked, we set about to prevent the problem from happening to reduce the occurrence of hives. Seeing the specialist was expensive but really worth it.

Oh dear! I hope you have meds/creams that actually work. I myself try my best to avoid hives from occurring as I do not want to rely on meds/creams too much, especially if they contain steroids.

No, not strange. I will get it when my skin is dirty or I've been dusting/cleaning. If I take a shower, the hives disappear. For serious cases, doctor visits, creams/injections may be necessary, like in the case of my ex-colleagues.

Is not strange,dun worry. Its very common for us.It can happen anytime ,anywhere. If you can,(gt time) try to note down things that you eat/ been to/touched whenever you kena feng mo. Then ,aft a month or two,try to find out what is the common thing that you do juz b4 your feng mo happen.so next time you know what to avoid to prevent it from occuring.
As for cream,I dun have,you can check with schellen.What i usually do is wet a towel ,wipe the affected area,so aft it cool down,it will slowly disappear..if not,i will take pills (anti itch)

I only used cream for DD when the specialist prescribed it. Now, she doesn't break out in hives anymore but I do. I use anti-itch gel from Hansaplast or wash area and pat dry, then distract myself with something while the hives disappear. Dry skin will worsen the condition so I moisturise a lot but not when the hives are there.
