Uh oh... I have been switching to natural and organic products over the last year. I do not wear makeup on a regular basis, but I do on occasion and did wear some over the holidays. Wouldn't I react to that more immediately? I haven't applied anything except concealer recently. I wish it was "cheap drugstaw makeup" because it would be less painful to toss if it turns out to be at fault. (Was Fran Drescher the one on Friends or the one on the Nanny? lol). For cleansers, lotions/creams and sunscreen I've been using Green Beaver products. Other than that I've tried Neem cream but I can't remember the brand. I don't use that one often because I think it smells disgusting.
I'm not thrilled with the idea of going back to a product with synthetic chemical ingredients, but the DML has high reviews everywhere I looked, which is enough to make me consider it. I do occasionally use Glaxal Base Cream on my legs and arms because they are so dry and scaly, itchy and gross. I wonder if they are similar, since I happen to have a tub of that on hand already. I don't like it on my face though, it feels very heavy and greasy. The DML reviews say it does not do that -- what does your daughter think GP? Maybe I should try to find a place that will ship to Canada and order it anyway.
Do you know why it is no to hydrocortisone, Macabre? I really do not want a long term antibiotic, or even a short term one if I can avoid it. That'll cause other issues and I have too many issues to deal with already. I think my eyebrow spots might be different than what is around my mouth and nose but I'm not sure. I'm tempted to try the EczemaCare cream there. I also have a patch in my armpit that is driving me crazy.
I'll see if I can get a photo in good lighting so you can tell me if you think mine looks similar, if you are willing. (of my face, not the armpit I promise!) If my GP can handle it I would rather not wait 6 months to see a dermatologist.
