Close Eczema

I don't have severe problems, but steadily get new red itchy spots that stay several days, some are always in play. My dermatologist has found I need several different treatments for various spots and problems. I'd like to find some prevention ideas. And I had had years of heavy dandruff & scalp problems.

Treatments

Clobetasol Working / Worked

Works well, is my mainstay. Calms my frequent red patches, stops itchyness, keeps little growths from becoming permanent bumps like used to happen. Only takes a dab. I rub it in. Don't use on face, faces quickly require it like a bad habit, my dermatologist said. He had me use it for poison ivy too.

Elidel Somewhat Helpful

Worked for 1 raw flaky spot, one eyebrow, but I had to use it daily forever. See Protopic note.

Eucerin Somewhat Helpful

Worked but is too thick for easy use, it dragged on and didn't sink in well, so that I didn't use it consistantly, as I have to do it head to toe, a grind I avoided. My doctor now recommends Aquaphylic, It is just as effective and I use it daily at least, working on twice a day.

Protopic Working / Worked

Protopic ended my raw flaky eyebrow problem, now I use it once a month or less and have no symptoms unless I wait like 2 months. .
