Guess who f***ked up? me!

Visited dermatologist today.

I have a lot of skin issues on my body currently, and I'M VERY STRESSED, F**CKED UP, FED UP, you name it!

She didn't argue my assumption about my skin:
1. Eczema
2. Contact dermatitis (due to keep trying moisturizer AND ALL OF THEM NOT WORKED)
3. Pityriasis Rosea

Most of my body is wrecked, literally wrecked (and my psychology too)

Then I cried, I cried because I know she is going to prescribe me a stronger steroid (when I'm already on steroids for 1.5 weeks & on and off on hand for 2 months)

I told her anything I've used, anything happened to me, I want her to listen to me.
I have been lurking on my window for months.
I hate seeing people. I saw their skin so clear, they are so happy.
And I, should take all this weight on my shoulders.

She prescribed me a lot of stuff:

  1. antiviral 10 tablets daily - wow (?)
  2. Steroid tablet - idk, she said Metho** things, I think Methylprednisolone?
  3. Steroid Cream - different for my neck and hands and my body - My back rash is oozing, I dont think I could put this cream on open wounds
  4. Lovecetrizine

She didnt tell the potency since this is formulated and mixed up with other things THAT I DONT KNOW.

Now Im currently posting this when my inner arm is warm (both of them), my body itchy as hell.
I have been crying for months ALMOST DAILY.
Tell me your opinion or please encourage me. Currently Im so crazy.

You can see how much the cream is! and they want me to use it until it empty 🥲

Severe inner arm & armpit rash, How to support?

Primary Complaint: Severe contact dermatitis / stubborn redness
Duration: 2–3 weeks exposure (Using hydrocortisone 1% twice daily for the last 3.5 days)
Existing Medical Issues: -
Current Medications and Doses: Hydrocortisone 1% cream (applied twice a day) 

Age and Gender: 30, Female
Height: 158 cm
Weight: 52 kg
Country: Indonesia 

Drink: No
Smoke: No
Recreational Drugs: No 

Description:
I have severe contact dermatitis on both of my inner arms and my armpits. I have been applying over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1% cream twice a day for the last 3.5 days, but the deep redness is not fading or clearing up at all. 

I want to ask the medical community about the situation of healing for this kind of severe rash: 

  1. What are the normal stages or signs of healing I should look out for? 
  2. Does the deep redness usually take a long time to start fading, or should I have seen some skin improvement by day 3? 
  3. At what point should I stop using the OTC cream and see a local doctor for a stronger prescription steroid?

Is this pityriasis rosea?

Hi all,

I have had this for around 10++ days already, and it seems hard to heal.
I'm very confused and have nowhere to ask.

The ones located in skin folds in the abdominal area are slow to heal. This is sometimes itchy as well.

Please help 🙏 .

Eczema + Nummular, Now Hit With Other Skin Disease. Please Pray For Me.

Hi all,

I have eczema on the top of my finger and nummular eczema on top of my hand + my back.
AND suddenly I have ALOT red bumps on stomach; I don't know if this is an allergy or not.
AND suddenly I have a rash on BOTH my arm creases.
AND my armpit is irritated by deodorant and soo bad.
AND now my back ear is so damn itchy!

Nummular eczema so hard to get rid of. I've been dealing with this for months!
I always try so hard, but it just needs 1 heat wave to put me on square one.
Now can I say I'm on square -100?

Have you ever dealt with nummular eczema?
I've been on corticosteroid cream for almost 2 weeks. I probably need to stop, but it seems like I need to continue to thin the skin? Should I take the risk?
If I stop, it will be not heal, and I'm afraid it will come back.

Also, please pray for me guys 🙏 .
I don't know how to deal with this anymore.

Can I laser my skin? Seriously asking: has anyone do lasering the skin?

I'm tired and sick of this, I have wasting my time a lot.
In my late 20's, instead of living in joy, I live in tears.

First car buyer butuh bantuan untuk mobil second

Halo semua,

Saya perempuan, 30 tahun, lagi mau beli mobil pertama. Masih amatir banget soal mobil, jadi jujur agak takut kena tipu 😅. Mohon masukan dari teman-teman yang lebih berpengalaman.

Awalnya saya memang lebih condong ke mobil bekas karena menurut saya value for money-nya lebih bagus dibanding beli baru.

Calon mobil yang sedang saya incar:

  • Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid Type S
  • Tahun 2023
  • Harga Rp330 juta
  • Odometer 26.000 km

Saat ini belum inspeksi, masih tahap tanya-tanya dengan penjual. Informasi dari penjual:

  • Tidak pernah kecelakaan
  • Tidak pernah banjir
  • Servis rutin

Saya sebenarnya pengen mobil EV, tapi sepertinya kurang cocok di kota saya karena kotanya cukup kecil dan dealer/after sales masih terbatas 😢.

Saya juga lebih prefer hybrid karena tetap irit tapi nggak perlu khawatir soal charging.

Di kota saya pilihannya juga nggak banyak. Brand China seperti Chery belum ada. Yang tersedia cuma BYD serta merek besar seperti Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, dan Suzuki.

Mau minta pendapat teman-teman:

  1. Dengan spek seperti ini, apakah Yaris Cross Hybrid ini worth it?
  2. Harga Rp330 juta masih masuk akal atau sebaiknya coba nego? Kira-kira realistisnya bisa turun sampai berapa?
  3. Ada rekomendasi mobil bekas lain di kisaran harga yang sama? (Selain mobil China dan Hyundai karena dealer belum ada di kota saya.)
  4. Apa saja tips membeli mobil bekas supaya tidak zonk?
  5. Sebaiknya saya nego harga dulu baru bayar jasa inspeksi, atau inspeksi dulu baru lanjut nego?

Terima kasih banyak sebelumnya 🙏

Redness, Small Blisters and Itchy Hand

Hi all, I really need your help 🙏🏻

Fyi. I have severe dyshidrotic eczema that you can see the discolorization on my finger 😭.

I have these kind of redness and small blister on top of hand and between fingers for more than 3 weeks. Supeer itchy!

It is getting worse in afternoon and when heat kicks in (sometimes got better in morning). I start losing it, it can react on steroid cream but again it will keep coming back so I need to know what happens exactly.

May I know if this is probably DE as well? Because the blister appear where my DE previously was.

Thank you so much for your help.

Recurring Long Life Flare-Up, Please Give Me Advice.

I have flare-ups almost every time.
One of my triggers is heat, since Im living in a very hot country, this is impossible to avoid.
So I will have a flare-up for the entire week or almost the entire week (never free from a week).

It's rarely bled since I try to keep it under my control. But it is bubbling almost every time.
But this affected my whole life already, I accept it. But still, this is not enough for me.
I forgot how my original skin texture was already.

I have tried moisturizers, nappy cream, etc2.
I will try to take probiotic by today (will keep you updated).

I have tried almost everything!
I don't want to do this anymore, will I be free from this someday? I keep questioning this to myself.

Have you also, like me, that has long-life flare-ups?
If yes, how did you make it under control?
Did you find remission?

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.

I Hate My Dermatologist.

I'm disappointed.
If I were doctor, I will work with my heart to help people and be kind to other no matter who.
I spent alot for my problem and wish you can help and guide me. I cant understand these people know very well they are the one who can help the people but act like they just want the money.

sorry I just want to rant. I really really really disappointed to the point I dont feel angry anymore.

Trying to Heal My Flare Is Destroying My Mental Health

So I'm currently handling my flare. I have been managing it by applying hydrocortisone 2.5% since 2 days.

I saw several pieces of information that we need to maintain the skin moisture, so I apply moisturizer 30 mins-1 hour after hydrocortisone.

I have tested 5 different moisturizers, all of them make my skin angrier.
When I stop using it, it dries out.
The blister is in the blister flattening phase, so I thought it would be fine to also put moisturizer.

I still have discoloration from the last severe flare-up, so I'm afraid it will cause another discoloration in this flare. I keep using moisturizer (previous flare infected with fungal, so I'm traumatized by the feeling in that moment).

Do I need to keep it as it is without moisturizer?
I feel like I just wasting money and mental health just to figure out the trigger and how to keep my skin moist.
My wound just rejected it all and didn't give me a chance lol.

Thank you good people!

I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago, and he said it is probably eczema with a fungal infection.
he gave me ketoconazole (oral) + cream (ketoconazole+gentamicin+desonide).

- first 5 days I've been taking the cream twice a day
- next 5 days, I tapered it down to once daily (edited* I feel my skin so thin, Im afraid for longer use, so I tapered down)
- Once the ketoconazole oral is finished, I start taking pure ketoconazole cream only
*After taking ketoconazole orally, I started getting a small red bump on the back of my hand

In the first 5 days, it is cleared, probably because desonide is a type of low steroid.
In the last 4 days, I started getting flaky, dry, sometimes inflamed skin.

Going to the doctor again will be very costly 😞
I cant moisture it, it will flare up again somehow. So I deal with it with water only (very sad).

Notes:
- I started to eliminate my diet, also.

This feels burned, dry, and sore.
Actually, I really think ketoconazole irritates my skin. I tried to contact my doctor via message, but he didn't respond until now.
At this point, I feel lost..

If you have any insight, please help me. I'd appreciate it so much 🙏.

I have several fungal infections:

  1. Neck (under jaw) + Irritation from skincare (not sure if this is infected)
  2. Hand (Dyshidrotic that is infected to fungal)
  3. Face (several rashes)

Neck:
I put ketoconazole on before, then it became really dry, so after 4 days, I changed to Clotrimazole yesterday. I apply it to the skin as well (around 1-2 cm). But since I applied ketoconazole, I realized that this skin became red. The skin in fungal rashes became dry and flaky. I rubbed the dry skin with salicylic acid this afternoon.
Another irritation is coming due to skincare in the area near this.

makes
Face:
I applied ketoconazole before, then the same to the neck, and I changed to Clotrimazole.
This is also very dry but not red (probably my face is already red?)

Hand:
I went to the doctor and got a cream that contains:

  • Gentamicin
  • Ketoconazole (anti-fungal)
  • Desonice (steroid)

I applied twice daily -> clear within days
Then, after several days*,* I applied once daily -> on day 4, some blisters and redness came (probably due to the detergent, even though I already put on a glove ~ is it rebound due to the steroid?).
Now I continue with pure ketoconazole only since I'm afraid that with the steroid, my fungal infection will worsen before due to the steroid cream 😞
I also take oral medicine that make some blisters appear on my upper hand (I think medicine reaction?)

This is day 10, now my condition is:

  1. Neck: fungal border fading, but has redness
  2. Hand: very tiny blister + redness (I know any trigger will make this come back)
  3. Face: several rashes fading -> I will continue until the end of the month

I have cancelled my dream holiday this year due to this problem. I feel broken since dreams only become dreams for me.
I think any effort I made just makes this worse. I feel lost and afraid.
I start losing weight and don't want to eat. I lost my hobby, I love to exercise now, here I am in my bed, wishing next month is tomorrow to see if I will heal or not.

I saw several threads said that anti-fungal will make it worse before better.
May I know if this has happened to you as well?
Please help me if you have experience or any suggestions. I'll appreciate it so much. Thank you!

Notes:
I live in Indonesia where it is very hot and humid, any activities will makes me sweat. Im sad.
