Suggest Treatment For White Itchy Bumps On Face Oozing Clear Liquid

Yes, thank you. My mother who is 88 has been suffering for months with what the allergist and dermatologist called eczema. Her face has little white bumps, itches, is painful, starts out red, her face gets leathery, and her face oozes a clear, sticky liquid. She has tried all the RX's prescribed, eliminated make-up, certain soaps. She is exhausted from all of this. Previously she had had shots (can't remember if it was steroids or cortisone, which worked temporarily but she cannot have them more than every 6 months. Antibiotics seem to help for awhile but it has all come back. What is it and what can she do?

Hi,
This problem is very common having eczema due to severe itching.
Constant itching will lead to super added bacterial infection giving rise to oozing, induration etc.
Give her one course of antibiotic for 5-7 days.
Clean the affected part with antiseptic lotion and apply triple acting cream.
Give antihistamine like Levo-cetrizine regularly for itching.
If there is no itching, she will get better improvement.
Continue follow up with skin specialist.
Ok and take care.
