I have chronic eczema patches on and around the ankles of both legs and a few small patches below the knee. These developed at the age of 15 when I was on antibiotics for breathing problems and severe sneezing due to dust pollution. I have been applying hydrocortisone cream on these lesions for past over 35 years with no appreciable change. Only a few areas have subsided ad left slightly dark patches. Please advise if any other remedies are required and I any permanent solution to resolve and make these lesions disappear
