Hi. I\'ve suffered from eczema my whole life but within the past 3 years it has spread to my face and shoulders. I\'ve tried all the creams including Elidel. Elidel does not work for me, it burns and creates patches of red on throughout my face. Fluconide is powerful but only helps on the inside of the arm/elbows and other side of the knees. It\'s less potent brotehr Desoinonide does not work at all. Pills do not work, diet was said to have been the cause but I cut out the things I was allergic to and it didn\'t help. Elecon cream is the only thing that seems to stop it but still that doesn\'t help to the max. The DR. says it\'s a mixture of Fungal and Eczema conditions so I took anti-fungal pills and still it did not help. Prescription steriods helped but only for a week, when I was done taking them the eczema came back in full force, another day in the life of an eczema sufferer. Good luck and take care, it sucks to have eczema but that\'s the way God made us.
