How To Treat Red Skin Syndrome?

Hi, My 22 year old son has been diagnosed with Red Skin Syndrome. He was using a steroid cream for 15 years to control eczema, but had to stop when he reacted to the cream. He is not taking anything other than OTC pain relievers and QV cream on his body. Thank you Renate

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, steroid topical application may not be used for such long time, second it may not be eczema but it could be something else and in my opinion skin lesion need to be taken for biopsy, it could be psoriasis, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
