Reaction to wool scarf 1mth ago. upper chest still off/on itchy, slightly red. can't see doc for 3 wks. might clobetasol rx for my hand eczema help?

You may try ...: your Clobetasol for a few days. As you probably already know, topical steroids should not be used for more than 5-7 days in a row ("5 days on, 5 days off"). If no improvement, see a doctor. You can always try neutral, oatmeal based, scent free soaps and lotions to help with symptoms. You could also try oral antihistamines (OTC) to help with itching. Good luck!

YEs: It is worth a try. It sound like a severe immune reaction, of which the steroid cream might help. Have you been skin tested for other allergens? It might prove useful. Best of health- Hope you feel better
