oooohhhh, how long does it take to disappear?


I think around a week or two, this is a wild guess, I never really counted how long. but I don't think it was too long.

thx, how often do you get flare up

It varies as I have allergic eczema so something can trigger it. I have to be careful wearing jewellery and watches, but I even reacted badly to the metal frames of new glasses and looked like a racoon for a fortnight, so I can sympathise with it on the face! Also allergic to sticking plasters anywhere but my fingers and have one arm that was red for a few months, but again washing with mild shower gel and using a cream meant it didn't itch much, just looked unsightly.

Just be careful and don't mix steroid creams and other creams as you don't know how your skin will react.
