Itchy Eczema On Inner Elbow, Behind Knee. Using Trimovate Cream. How To Prevent Dark Scars?
Hello there, I have some very itchy eczema on my inner elbow and behind my knee. At the moment these patches are itchy and unsightly. I do not know what cremes to use to help heal them - I use E45 intense recovery and Trimovate. Both work quite well but I can t override the need to scratch . They are also going to leave horrible dark marks if they do heal - my skin pigments very easily
