Is Cetaphil good for facial eczema?

Is it okay for me to use this treatment for my acne and eczema?

• So it's been roughly 5 months since my facial eczema cleared up. There were three patches of skin on my face that were particularly dry and flake (often waxing over the legion and drying up later to form this dry flaky patch). I had continually been treating my face as a follow up procedure up until two weeks ago using desonide and a moisturizer. The dermatologist said that it was fine to continue treating or to stop treatment. In the last month or so, school has been insanely hectic for me and as a result, I developed a mild acne. At first, it wasn't that bad and barely noticeable. On the rest of my body, most notably my hips, I had small papules of some sort of rash, which the dermatologist also classified as atopic dermatitis. Upon a skin biopsy of the area, the lab concluded that it was a lichenified atopic dermatitis, and due to the langerhans cells, believes that it's due to some sort of allergen. I had a small light patch of skin on my neck that was starting to look extremely similar to how the patch on my hip started out and grew worried. I wasn't sure what to do so I use the fluocinonide that the dermatologist prescribed for my hip, thinking that the neck area was more similar to the body than the face. I was treating the patch initially with clobetasol. Eventually, the patch went away, and things got better. Unfortunately, however, my acne started breaking out on my neck after I discontinued use of the fluocinonide. It appeared to only be affecting the side of my neck where I used fluocinonide with minimal acne on the other side. Moreover, when I stopped using desonide on my face, and began using the clindamycin that the dermatologist prescribed for my acne, more acne began forming on my face. I've read in multiple sources that flare ups in acne and rebound flares can result from corticosteriod withdrawl. My mom called the dermatologist and she prescribed some doxycycline as an oral antibiotic for the acne. At the moment, I'm continuing to use a mixture of mupirocin (also prescribed by the dermatologist after the lab found bacteria in the legions on my hip) and fluocinonide for my fading hip legions; I was using strictly acne topicals (clindamycin for the morning and tretinoin for the evening) for my face and neck. I just discovered tonight that my eczema was starting to flare up again and applied the following medications: desonide (for the eczema), Aveeno's Eczema Lotion (for the eczema), and tretinoin (acne at night). I plan to use the same medication for the morning, only swapping out the tretinoin for the clindamycin. CONDENSED VERSION: -I got eczema on my face. -Proceeded to use desonide and moisturizer. -Has been better for 5 months. Continued treating it with desonide and moisturizer. -Developed legions on my hips and other places of my body. Initially used clobetasol and moisturizer to treat. -After skin biopsy, lab and dermatologist believes that the patches on hips are due to lichenified atopic dermatitis. Bacterial infection was also discovered on the biopsy. Was given fluocinonide and mupirocin to treat it. Continues to treat it as so. -Stopped treatment of facial eczema two weeks ago. Stress was also a high near that time. Mild acne, treated with clindamycin and moisturizer. -Had a patch of skin on my neck that looked like the early stages of the legions on my hip. Used fluocinonide for roughly 1 1/2 weeks. Stopped use after patch disappeared. -Acne began flaring 1/2 week after discontinuation of fluocinonide for neck and desonide for face. -Internal medicine doctor told me to continue using clindamycin for the day and prescribed tretinoin for the night. -dermatologist prescribed doxycycline as oral acne antibiotic. -Eczema on face recently redeveloped today. Help! CURRENTLY USING: -face: desonide (eczema), clindamycin (day), tretinoin (night), and moisturizer (eczema) -hip/body: fluocinonide and mupirocin MEDICATIONS EVER USED: -desonide (facial eczema and initial body atopic dermatitis) -mometasone (facial eczema when worse and worsening body atopic dermatitis) discontinued -Triamcinolone (body atopic dermatitis) discontinued -Clobetasol (body atopic dermatitis) discontinued -fluocinonide (body atopic dermatitis) -mupirocin (bacterial infection found on skin biopsy of hip) -clidamycin (acne day) -tretinion (acne night) -doxycycline (oral antibiotic) -Gold Bond's Moisturizer -Aveeno's Eczema Therapy --Cetaphil (daily cleaning) -Aveeno Skin Relief Shampoo After a long block of text, I hope the community can help me :). QUESTIONS: 1) Should I stop using any of these medications? If so, why? 2) Any short term tips that can get me through the holidays and couple of weeks. I obviously can't contact the dermatologist now. 3) Am I doing anything wrong? What should I not do? 4) If you've had a similar problem, what things did you notice that got you feeling better. 5) Any pseudo-diagnosis out t

• Answer:

  You need either something that really works and all natural to help you or a good doctor. Maybe I can help you by telling you about the product that worked for us. What worked for our child is Salcura Dermaspray Gentle, it's #1 in Britain. We've used Salcura now about 6 months. Our son's skin was very inflamed around his ankles and wrists and he would scratch himself till he bled if we didn't watch him or have bandages on him. Salcura was 10 times better than anything else we tried, plus it's over the counter, all natural, easy to apply and has no mess whatsoever. The more we've used it the less we've had to spray our child, at first we sprayed him 4 times a day. now it's about once every 2 or 3 days as needed. Salcura stopped the itch in seconds the very first time we used it and the inflammation subsided about 50 percent after only the first day. His skin looks perfect now unless he has a flair up. When he has a eczema flair up, we spray his skin and by morning it's usually back to normal. This stuff really worked for our child and I've seen other reviews from people with similar dramatic results. I've also read reviews from people that had less dramatic results as well, but all say they had an improvement in their skin and less itch as well. Hope this helps you.
