The first time I used steroids (Desowen and Advantan) was back in 2010. I used it for a couple of months but not longer than 6 months. In April 2012 I went home for 2 months vacation, I suddenly had a minor eyelid flare up. Dermatologist prescribed me Clobetasole ointment for 7 days. Since I don‘t want to spoil my vacation I set my allergy mind aside and enjoyed my vacay. Went to the beach and enjoyed the sun. After that my eczema was not bad at all. Then I returned back in Germany. Happy days are over!
Autumn Came then my eczema is here again spreading down my neck and fingers.
The following pictures are where I have my eczema spots year 2012-2013.
I‘ve been treating them only with Protopic during my flare ups and moisturizer. Not until April 2013 that I started using Ecural Steroid Ointment for my thumb eczema
After all this time, after reading blogs and massive research on the Internet. I didn‘t know that I was suffering from Steroid induced Eczema and withdrawing from it.

After eating Chinese food I noticed the Redness on my cheeks and around the mouth last February 28, 2013. I thought it was the Mono-sodium Glutamate or MSG typically found on chinese foods.
