Advice:
if hydrocortisone doesn't work, what will?

I just had eczema on my face, all around my mouth and nose. it's hideous to look at, I can't make it go away. I used 1% Hydrocortisone mainly because that's what everyone said I should but it didn't work. seemed to sooth at first but at the
end I really think it made it a lot worse. and before that I used Eucerin, and it was not helpful either.

there are a lot of things I can use (according to the world wide web) but I'd rather ask to people with experience on this or just know about what has worked. any products? or anything I should do to get rid of it?

thanx

" I use Alclometasone dipropionate, or Aclovate, on my face. It's "a synthetic steroid medication of the cortisone family." You need a prescription. I prefer the ointment. Good luck. "

" the hrdrocotzone you used was it ointment? thats what i use and it seems to help me. if it really seems to mke it worst it maybe that you are allergic to it. use plenty of moisturiser too, it shoud help keep your skin from drying out. good luck "
