Hm, I hope this is at all helpful, but could you work with your derm to find the right thing? I've had bad luck with standard skincare stuff for medical skincare issues.
Thanks for your comment!
I went to several dermatologists and they all prescribed a corticosteroid cream. I brought this balm to my current one and he just said to continue using it if it worked. A bit of a joke considering my current situation…
Been quite unlucky with dermatologists in general to be honest.
Ugh sorry to hear that, that sucks!
Do you have any idea what it is about that specific product that works? eg, does it create an occlusive layer, is it super hydrating, does it strengthen your skins natural barrier, etc? If so, that might be a starting point?
Ah, that is a great idea. Thanks!
Right now I have no clue of what it could be because I’ve only tried the corticosteroids and this.
I can feel the effect in a matter of an hour so it is quite amazing!
