If you have varicose eczema, please don’t
make this common but very serious mistake.
I am am going to tell you the truth about
varicose eczema. You see a lot of people – including
many doctors believe that varicose eczema
is a dermatological condition, a skin condition
that should be treated by dermatologists or
with creams. Yes, it is associated with inflammation
and some doctors treat it with steroid creams.
However, this is just not acceptable and it
is completely wrong. You see, the real underlying
cause of varicose eczema is not varicose veins
or inflammation, it is actually a condition
called superficial vein reflux which causes
varicose eczema. And, it is the superficial
vein reflux that needs to be treated. Steroid
creams just mask the problem. In fact, if
you use steroids for any significant length
of time, they can actually damage the skin,
making it thin and more vulnerable to damage.
So if you have varicose eczema and you are
being treated by steroid creams,
go and see your doctor and ask to see a vein
specialist. I have treated many people with
varicose eczema and if it is caught at an
early stage, it can be cured completely. Steroid
creams just mask the problem. Sure steroid
creams will ease the itch and redness and
initially you might think your leg is getting
better but in the long run, steroid creams
only cause more trouble. Now if you are troubled
