A member asked:
Boyfriend has bad eczema, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Encourage Rx: Hopefully he's under treatment, perhaps with a glucocorticoid and/or topical tacrolimus and/or something else. He is likely to be self-conscious about it. It's not infectious or a danger to you. Say stuff like, 'Your skin must be painful, you are so tough'. Don't hesitate to touch the lesions, and offer to put his medication on. Read up and perhaps you can find an evidence-based new Rx.
