Eczema

Kevin never had eczema as a kid nor in his teens. But as an adult, he started getting red patches on his face and neck every time he ate certain foods or when he became hot after a badminton game or even jogging.

He was constantly on steroid creams. It was frustrating since each time he got a flare-up, it would take 3-5 days for the rashes to go away. It came to a point when he started to use stronger steroids as the milder ones became ineffective. This impacted his lifestyle greatly. He was even afraid to exercise too much, worried it could trigger an attack.

The first difference for him since meeting Physician Leong, was that she communicated with excellent English, allowing him to easily explain his medical history to her. Since Kevin couldn’t speak mandarin so well and though he knew TCM works, his previous experiences with other TCM practitioners were challenging.

After taking the prescribed medication for 1 month, Kevin started to see results! His eczema flare-ups became fewer and milder. He continued taking the medication regularly for another few months and now his eczema is almost non-existent! Kevin still keeps a little bit of the medication for emergencies.

He is really thankful for Physician Leong, beyond his eczema, for treating his other ailments. He thinks she is super friendly, helpful and extremely easy to talk to.
