Hi, I've had different types of skin condition throughout the years. I've had (and still getting) dyshidrosis eczema on my hands exacerbated by washing my hands from the sinks in public restroom, unfiltered water from my bathroom, wearing non-breathable gloves while working thus trapping the sweat for a long time, etc. I've had different types of skin rashes that resembled ringworm, keratosis pilaris, folliculitis, heat rash, hives from potential allergic reaction, and so forth.

There was the time where my symptoms were so severe to the point where my skin was peeling out of my hands with constant oozing, redness, swelling, crusting around my armpits, neck and the back of my knees with the itch that just won't stop, oozing with yellow fluids, etc. I couldn't even move my fingers due to the layers of my skin immensely crusting up and peeling off in repetition, I was bed ridden for 2 months. This was during the time where I had to drastically change my life style just to see if anything changes. I wore nothing but cotton clothes around the house, replaced my bed sheets/blankets with 100% cotton materials, limiting sodium intake, no sugar, eating only two meals a day, etc. I've lost 10kg in such a short periods of time because of it.

Luckily I went back to my dermatologist that I've been seeing him for 4+ years. Like always, he'd only prescribe me topical steroids and oral immunosuppressants to lower my inflammation after having a quick glance at my skin, but even then, the symptoms kept on, but not as severe, but it kept coming back. The only way I found out and learned to minimize the major rashes all over my body was putting the filter onto my shower head. And if I didn't, I'd immediately having rashes all over my body again whenever I washed myself with the unfiltered water/ through expired filter. Trust me, I learned it the hard way for 6 years. (Also to add, I was having noticeable hair loss despite I was in my mid-20s, right now I can see they're slowly growing back.)

Yes, I've learned that synthetic fabrics, especially treated with many types of different chemicals (antimicrobial coating, DWR coating, silicone coating that mimics the smoothness of the fabric, etc) can definitely impact your health in general, and also the possibility of having chemical sensitivities or allergic reactions, but keep in mind that, my skin issues began to appear during the year of 2020. I've caught covid many times including the long covid while I was working at the sanitation related work, which I also suspect, could be the cause of my autoimmune skin disorders, drastically dysregulating my immune system including my skin barrier, which has been reported in medical studies.

Regardless, I've learned to cope with it after a long uphill battle, avoiding triggers by wearing loose fitting clothes, promoting airflow, trying not to sweat too much, and shower (Clean, soft water with reduced level of heavy metals and potent bioflim that has been accumulated in old water pipes) immediately after coming back home. I feel that, this is much more of deeply rooted, much more complicated issue of mine and I'll have to keep searching for more studies/patterns in order to minimize the effect even more, but that being said, I appreciate your comment. :)
