I am 60 years old & live outside of Brentwood & was diagnosed July 2014. After many months of NHS appointments & going privately I had to travel outside of the area for the diagnosis. I would be interested to know whether there is the expertise at local hospitals who can provide support as that would be easier for me? My symptons come & go but are far better than this time last year. I use Dermovate Ointment at night as prescribed & Diprobase ointment during the day. I only use Epaderm cream for washing. I have given all my 'nice' shower gels away & only use baby shampoo for washing my hair in the shower. i am getting used to the routine but do sometimes wonder 'why me'? I know there are worse things but i used to swim regularly & that has stopped as chlorine doesnt help at all.
