What is a strong and permanent treatment for a recurring coin-shaped skin rash (nummular eczema) on my knuckle and elbow, since previous treatments like Ebast tablets and Aloederm ointment only offered temporary relief?
Nummular eczema can be stubborn, especially on high-friction areas like your knuckles and elbows. While there is no instant permanent cure, we can achieve long-term control. The ebastine tablets and Aloederm ointment you used help with itching and mild healing, but stubborn flare-ups often require a stronger generic topical corticosteroid, prescribed by a doctor, used for a short period. Keeping the skin deeply hydrated with thick, fragrance-free moisturizers and protecting your hands from harsh soaps is also key. Please consult a dermatologist to tailor a safe, effective treatment plan for you.
