    Me again. Doctor wasn't much help really, - wanted stool sample, urine, bloodworks etc but I've done all that before with another doctor! Both have been as baffled as me. However, this time she recommended using the corticosteroid cream for 2 weeks (on the packet it reckons 1 week). I've only used it for 7 days straight before, fearing skin damage (doc rolled her eyes at this and said long term = months or years or constant use, not a couple of weeks! Fair enough.). So I've now finished my two weeks, haven't used ANYTHING for one whole week, and have not scratched once! God I hope this lasts, it is a very promising result. Will update in a couple of weeks.
