Like you my rash was misdiagnosed by dermatologists for years. Without blogging and research I would have never learned about this form of eczema. After I told both of my dermatolgists what I thought it was they agreed and one was actually gleeful because she hadn't treated GD before. She got to write all sorts of expense prescriptions for me to fill. Both previously thought it was my Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD and not a different form of eczema. That said, it made no difference, as no medical treatment helped me.
