Hydroxzine (i think lol) - for excema, so I don't scratch the hell outta myself when I sleep, its basically just an anti histamine
Trimamcinolone - also for excema, its a cream
my asthma is so much better than it used to be,now i'm just worried about excema.. which goes hand in hand with allergies and asthma. bleh i get stuck with all three.

Jasmyn, have you ever tried Elidel or Protopic for eczema? I use Elidel on occasion (I only have moderate eczema), but I find that it works very well. They're non-steroidal too, so that's a plus.
Trimamcinolone - isn't that an anti-fungal?? I believe it's used to treat ringworm fungal infections I could be wrong though.
I found the key to keeping eczema under control-t ake anthistamine daily. Also like Cetaphil lotion a lot it helps & use either Cutivate or Psorcon on rashes depning on how bad it is.
Controlling eczema is alla bout knowing your triggers just like asthma- have you been tested for allergies? It all makes sense once you do =).
