So, I’ve had eczema for about ten years now.
It’s always been on the sides and backs of my knees, wrists, and fingers.
It’s always had triggers too. Whether it was sweat from Summer, dryness from Winter, or excessive hand washing due to OCD, my eczema at least had rules that made it easier to combat.
But lately, my eczema has decided to ignore those rules.
It’s been flaring up willy nilly, not calming down with steroids, ointments, creams, countless oatmeal soaps - all ones my GP and dermatologist have recommended me.
And then, it became worse, when it decided to migrate all around my eyes and on a random patch on my cheek.
I’ve only just been cured of my cystic acne that left lumps on my face that looked like multiple noses sticking out, so my self confidence was just starting to come back, and now it’s ruined.
I’m really worried it might be an allergy (but I haven’t changed anything in my diet).
I also don’t wear makeup or wear any perfumes/colognes.
I’ve heard that some people can just suddenly become intolerant to gluten and it can cause eczema???
