BohsCeltic wrote: » That's a good positive attitude. I am hoping to be in the sun soon as i know that really helps. Have an appointment with my Doctor tomorrow so will see if i can get referred to a Dermatologist. I suffered from cystic acne for years(luckily no scars) and my dermatitis is under control. Just seems to be one problem after the other.

I have been given Dovobet but it hasn't made a dent. I moisturize about 15 times a day but there is no controlling it amd seems to be geyting more inflaned and more lesions daily. I have an extrenly healthy vegetarian diet and jave tried everything from anti inflammatory foods to probiotic foods and still no improvement. I also exercise regularly. My GP asked me to find a dermatologist in one of the hospitals and she would refer me but I don't know where to start. How much is it to see dermatologist privatley and also for light therapy such as UVB or PUVA as this is what my GP hopes will be given to me? Also has anyone ever tried an at home lightbox? I have a holiday booked and hope this will jelp somewhat as it normally does but it os so extensive i can't see it completely clearing with holiday.

That might not have helped but I think it was due to me scratching so much that made it so red. Put dovobet on to but that doesn't seem to help much. I tried 2 other creams that were prescribed before but I had to use them simultaneously which was a pain and much effort. Some places like elbows are healing great but then it just appears in new places. My hands have it now too and are very red. I just don't understand how one small little patch last year has been taking over my whole body.
eeloe wrote: » Yep, it can spread quite quickly, as a few of us learned the hard way! have you been referred to a dermatologist yet?
BohsCeltic wrote: » No not yet, When my Doc opens after lunch i am going to make an appointment. Can't afford to go private at the moment and i know the waiting lists are huge. I've battled acne and dermatitis in the past and my skin was looking good, now this springs up. I am due some money soon (small amount) but enough to cover going private and going on a sun holiday.
