"This injection is amazing for major flare-ups that are not controllable by atopic cream. I had a shot a year ago, and it cleared up my skin completely within 4 days. I stayed clear for a year exactly before my next flare-up, and I went back for this same injection. Highly recommend for relief and the embarrassment of the flare-ups."

"I got this shot after my hands turned unrecognizable from pain and eczema. I struggle with this all the time in every season. I could not believe how much Kenalog helped me. It erased all signs of eczema in a little over a week. I went back to the doctor just to THANK her for this. I would give it a 10, but it's not perfect. It began to come back (though not nearly as severe) about six weeks later. It will definitely get you over the uncontrollable outbreaks."

"I was diagnosed with eczema. When I scratched, the skin just rolled off. Underneath was red, bloody, raw skin. The scales would heal over it, but the skin underneath was raw. My feet and body swelled. The tropicals only made my rashes itch and dried them more. Finally, I found a doctor who prescribed Kenalog 10. I had stopped being able to wear shoes or heels. Anything that bound my feet swelled, and it itched for hours. The Kenalog 10 almost immediately stopped these reactions. After about 3 weeks, the itching was barely there. My skin began to heal. My doctor gave me injections once every 6 weeks. After a month and a half, I could wear shoes again, and my skin was clear. I had to change my doctor. My new doctor wouldn't give me the injections. It's been about two years since I have stopped the injections. My eczema has spread, and I am constantly itching, scratching off the new scaly skin until it bleeds. I haven't been able to find a doctor who will give me the medicine."

"I've had dermatitis for 16 years. It started as mild eczema on my hands, but within a year, it went from mild to wild! Woke up one morning and both my forearms were swollen, red, itching, burning, and leaking fluid when pushed against. 3 pitting edema. From that point on, over the next few years, it spread to my torso, legs, back, scalp, and face. Topical creams no longer worked, I was put on prednisone dose packs, but over time, prednisone was causing terrible side effects, i.e., moon face, hyperglycemia, depression, agitation, oral thrush, etc. I was then put on Kenalog 40 mg every 3-4 weeks, but then Kenalog created new side effects. Now I have to take 80 mg of Kenalog and methotrexate. Works, but my life is a wreck."
