Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for recurring eczema. It is difficult to make a exact diagnosis of your condition without pictures.

If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed to apply medium potency steroid cream application such as mometasone or fluticasone cream. You can take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth. The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.

Do not apply dettol as it causes more irritation to the affected areas. Cefixime is an antibiotic and never to be taken beyond 7 days without proper medical guidance.

Take care.
