Hello everyone! I have a persistent rash that I can't seem to rid off on my skin...it pops up whenever I am stressed or don't sleep enough. I've been to the doctor's and applied Elomet cream, which seems to work - but the next time I get stressed or can't sleep the rash starts up again.
It takes the form of small bubbles and cracks on the skin. When the cream does work, it takes a really long time (weeks) for the rash to reduce, but when it starts up again, it springs up in a matter of days...I really don't want to have to keep on going through tubes of cream like this, and sometimes I can't find the time to apply it regularly either.
The doctor tells me not to get stressed so the rash won't appear, but although prevention is better than cure, that's a somewhat tall order, especially when work piles up.
Can anyone help with possible solutions? I think that it may be due to the very dry nature of my skin...perhaps moisturizers may help? I'm at my wit's end regarding this and I don't want to keep on going back to the doctor's if I can help it.
