My eczema came back.
Kind of.
The eczema returned, but not where it had been before.
Let me start over. As I previously related, I treated the eczema with steroids, both oral and topical. The medication worked and my skin healed. However, once the treatment ended, the rash started showing up in new places: instead of my upper arms, the rash was on my lower arms; instead of my torso, it was on my legs; etc. So, the treatment worked, but I need to treat everything. Thankfully, I was able to get back in to see my dermatologist on Monday and get a new round of 'roids. She agreed with my assessment -- that the treatment took, just not thoroughly -- and was reasonably confident that this would be the end of the eczema (her estimation is that there's a 25% chance of it returning; not bad odds, considering).
So, I should soon be rash-free.
Again.
