Thank you for your kind words. Indeed it has been eczema for most of my life and only recently transitioned into psyorises. From my experience, for your face, I would say be careful of how often you wet your skin. For me if it's damp before I put my medication on it seems to work better, but leaving a wet cloth on my skin for too long makes it worse. Cold helps. You could try keeping your medicine in the fridge, and also use cold water instead of hot. Hot water makes the itch feel better instantly but draws blood to the skin. The cold does the opposite and reduces inflammation. An over the counter antihistamine that works really well is Zyrtec. The real kind. Sorry I know how awful it is to have something like this on your face!
