A member asked:
A dermatologist wanted me to do oral steroids for my eczema to do a "reset" on my body due to all the stuff i was applying to my body months prior. is this a real thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reset is a non medical term so I can't really say what your dermatologist meant by that. I can definitely say that steroids are frequently used for eczema and have very good results.
