Foot Eczema - Loreto, Philippines

I got this eczema on my feet since 2003. Come and go on different spots on my feet, sometimes on the left side, sometimes on the other. I've tried Betamethasone cream, gentamycin cream, clobetasol cream, and medicines like prednisone and cloxacillin. But just like they've said, it still has no cure. Now I got it on both the left and right side. Knowing that there is still no cure, one day when my eczema launch an all out itchy attack, I fought back w/ my full force scratching counter strike... Skin peeled and then bleeds. So what I did was, I treated it just like a wound. I put BETADINE (povidone-iodine) on it. For over a month now, not an itch or flakes. Now I'm waiting for my other foot to unbearably itch and I would do the same strategy... (December 2007) Contact Loreto
