It started out as a small white patch of skin in my left leg, a little itchy but I just ignored it. After a few weeks, it felt as if that patch of skin became rougher, as if it were permanent goosebumps. Usually people would go straight to the dermatologist when they encounter similar problems. I, however consult my know-it-all friend named Google.

Amazingly, when I searched for the term “permanent goosebumps” eczema was always part of the result. I’m usually the DIY person so instead f consulting my derma, I made myself a prescription for treatment of eczema. I hope it works for me. If not, then that’s the time I’ll go to my derma. I know not all of you will agree, but for non-abrasive and minimal skin treatments I’d ask Mr. G first.
