Discoid Excema anyone had it? Know anything about it?

I had discoid eczema for years. Reducing stress is much easier said than done so physical treatments are important. I washed with Zerobase and applied it 2 to 3 times a day regularly plus a steroid cream from my gp which was stronger than the OTC ones. The advice from my GP was to use enough steroid cream to settle it quickly rather than using small amounts that wouldn’t touch it.

Oddly, since having a rare, generalised skin infection some years ago I’ve never had another outbreak.

Hope you get it settled soon.

I had it, lots of different places and some were a definite circular shape, on my face they weren't so I went through a number of possible diagnoses and various different medications. I was also going through a period of extreme stress, which I thought I was managing well but my skin told a different story!
I found using hydrating washes on my skin in the shower (dermol 500) and slathering it on after a shower worked well and I used Cetraben on the patches on my face. Cetraben is a greasy emollient, not a nice product to use but it did protect my face from the wind and weather and they healed up well. I still use it if I get any sign of something on my face.
I hope you find something that works for you, I struggled for nearly 8 months to find something, it was quite demoralising and the itching at night stopped me sleeping. fwiw I had several prescriptions from the GP including one that contained a low dose of a steriod, that did work to some extent but as soon as I stopped using it, the patches came back, so frustrating. I don't have the same level of stress now and all is fine, I hope you will be too.

Thankyou
