HI ALL,
3 years ago I got a rash around my nose and didn't think much of it. Then I got pregnant and it's like it exploded around my nose down to my mouth. It was red and itchy and it would sting if I touched it. I also started to get pimple like bumps on my scalp that would hurt and itch like the hell and would pop with clear fluid and the scab over.
I have seen 4 doctors over the years. One put me on
Antibiotics , a dermatologist gave me samples of Nizoral, ketoconazole, antifungal, and antibacterial creams. Told me to get a ZNP bar. But that didn't work at all. She also told me the scalp condition and the rash was both serborrheic dermatitis.
I on my own figured out if I put 'clean and clear' astringent on my scalp it would dry the bumps up a little but still didn't make them go away.
I continued to have the rash EVERY DAY and I stopped wearing make up and got really discouraged that I would have it forever.
I then decided to go to ANOTHER DR. and she told me that it's a chronic condition and that there's nothing else to do for it. What a waste of time!
Finally about 5 months ago I fell at work and messed up my wrist and went so see a local emergent care center, 2 weeks later I went for a follow up to make sure I was healing. So I decided to ask this Dr. about it. I thought what the heck I was there and I'd try anything. I explained to him that I didn't care if it cost me $300 for a miracle cream that I was desperate as tears welled up in my eyes. I had really suffered with extreme itching and redness for so long it affected my self-esteem because I just knew everyone could see it and my co-worker would see me scratch at it often.
Then he told me he would prescribe me Elidel. With INS. I paid $39.00. And I am HAPPY to report the rash is GONE!!! I noticed an immediate change with in a day or 2 and with in a week it was GONE!!! I used it for less than 2 weeks. I still use it like once a month when I get the feeling it is trying to come back.
My scalp still gets bumps and soars but I accept that. I wash my hair everyday and even though washing it so much has ruined my hair I know that I have to keep it clean to help prevent the bumps. No cure for them yet. But I am working on it…..
I sure hope other's find ELIDEL to help also.
