Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I just got back from the doctor and his verdict is that my bee sting is healed, but I have eczema there now. That is why it looks so inflammed and is so itchy. I've never had eczema in my life before. Hmmm. Wonder why now? And that exact spot? So, at any rate, he gave me a prescription cream for it and I am doing more research on alternative therapies, of which there are MANY. I find it quite interesting that a defiency of EPO, or essential fatty acids can be a culprit, and so it is recommended to up the intake of EPO and fish oils quite a bit--I find that interesting because I quit taking my EPO about 4 or 5 months ago...I just got tired of taking pills and didn't quite get back on the bandwagon! Looks like I need to now. Higher doses of zinc are also recommended. Well, anyway, I am not too happy about an eczema diagnosis, as it seems that some people have a chronic problem with it. Hopefully this will not be my initiation into that new arena of misery! Thanks for the prompting to go to the doc, Honee and . You know me, I'd probably just be thinking I can take care of it still and hoping it would go away.... Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
