Having Eczema Problem On Foot, Itching. Suggested To Take Injection. What To Do?
Dear Sir, I am having eczeema type problem on my foot from my child hood , now I am 30yrs old. I do not apply soap & use to wear only cotton shocks on foot. But still it appears yearly about 5 to 6 times with itching and water coming out of it. I used to take pentids and some skin creams and it will be cured with in 10 days. I have consulted doctors some said it is uncurable and recently one doctor suggested to take some injection on that particular area of foot. Sicking your valuable suggesstions.

Hi, you seem to be having a chronic lichenified eczema
Yes there is a treatment for it called intralesional steroid injections which can improve the symptoms but there is no assurance that it may not occur again
but the time period for recurrance is much longer than those with creams
take care
