How To Treat Eczema In 15 Year Old?

Hello, I am an eczema patient and i have this since i was 2. I am currently 15 years old. My height is 5.5ft and weight is 65 kilograms. I would like to know if there is any way that my eczema would go away or a way to reduce it a lot currently. If my eczema would go, by what age would it? My doctors here told me it would go by the age of 14 - 15 but I don't see any signs of this disappearing.

Hi,

Welcome to HCM....

YOU SAID YOU SUFFER FROM ECZEMA...

I think you may be having atopic diathesis. Eczema may the presentation of atopy. There may be some allergen responsible for eczema. Contactants like housedust,housedust mite,pollens,grass,dog danders,soap,detergent, perfume,wool..etc may be considered as allergen. You consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis.

I would suggest as below..

- application of steroid cream or tacrolimus oint
- antihistaminics
- steroids in tappering dose
- antibiotics if needed
- intradermal triamcenolone 10mg injection
- avoidance of contact of suspected allergens

Have patience for the good result.. Take long term treatment.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
