My Dear Welcome to Healthcaremagic! I have noted your details and concerns. I find that most of my patients with Discoid Eczema present with a history like yours. I prescribe to them a moderately potent Steroid cream like Betamathasone along with anti allergic with nearly excellent response in all of them. As they stabilize, i reduce the frequency and potency of steroid preparation till I have completely weaned them off and at that stage I maintain them on plain moisturizers and barrier creams like Siloderm. I always advise them to prevent riggers like soaps, chemicals, certain garments or activities which keeps them free for long intermissions. As the active lesion subside, the pigmentation part will recover by itself. I am sure you will do very well by taking due care and medication. Best wishes from Healthcaremagic, Dear!
