   I am so scared of using my cortisone cream lately because of shitty stretch marks caused by it
   
   But I just opened my tube of my other cream and put it on and god, oh god, my skin finally shut the fuck up, about time, jesus

     Don't know your circumstances, but would like to share my story...

     About 8 years ago my son (age 11 or so) had skin problems. The outer skin in elbow, armpit and knee joints were "falling off".

     Skin doctor prescribed a fairly expensive cortisone cream and said "He will need that for the rest of his life".

     I used it once or twice, then changed his bathing habits. Less baths/showers, less soap and swims in saltwater pool... 6-9 months later the problem was gone. No problems since.

     "Doctors" are no longer doctors, but simply lowly salespersons of BigPharma. Not there to cure you, but to make you a life long customer.

     @niclas oh definitively. When I started working out, my skin got way better actually. But I had to stop for a bit because of some bullshit. I'll get back into it

     @niclas but then again, that's also under some other injection that makes my eczema much better
     
     Without the injection, things can go sour very fast. The goddamn doc forgot to renew it and the insurance took a month, I had to do without a month+ of it. It went well because of my working out, but it could go sour very fast anytime
