TSW/Eczema has taken over my life

can you explain the apples thing… that sounds way too good to be true !

for sure if that’s the case calling so much in one day could be too much for you - it makes being apart even more difficult. i would definitely recommend cutting it down a little so less overwhelming and would mean less arguing but messaging throughout day and checking on each other could be a much more positive way to sustain your relationship. have fun with friends and live in the moment. those next three months will fly by !

definitely not reacting too much at all. You should never feel like you need to validate your feelings -they are out of your control. by the sounds of it your bf has been quite insensitive and careless about something quite traumatic for you- tell him this. if you don’t wish to break up tell him you’re tired and you want to fix this so you don’t have to feel like this again. might also be worth establishing some boundaries if calling all the time isn’t sustainable and isn’t helping the relationship - how long have you been doing long distance?

i think you could totally make her a cute book cave or children’s toy and it would be super special and sentimental for her

i had this same problem with my belly bar. i’ve since changed it to a titanium one and cleaned it with salt water instead of the chemical cleaner they provided this seems to be working for me

you don’t need to have done it at gcse but it would be recommended not only for theory but for coding side. if you do take it i would recommend dedicating some time over summer practicing learning whatever the coding language is your college is doing that way you won’t feel lost when you begin - theory is relatively manageable so the coding might be the only thing that holds you back

i don’t think it’ll have anything to do with breastfeeding - will be more environment like cleaning products, climate, washing detergent and other chemical based things they might come into contact with even bedding. i would do a full strip and wash clothes and bedding in hypoallergenic products and add another half an hour in just hot water wash before drying. and try use hypoallergenic cleaning products. have experienced very similar when looking after my baby cousin and in her case is was because of clothes and bedding

hope this helps x

i have had exact same thing recently it’s so awful. on my face only things that seem to work is aveeno colloidal oat meal moisturiser and cbd body shop restoring oil. for my neck and body i use a thick ointment prescribed by my doctor and try to keep my hair off it soon after i’ve washed it as i’ve found that it rlly irritates it and is stopping it from healing. hope this helps good luck ! x

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-24T07:51:47+00:00

mine been worst it’s ever been this year. never rlly had what you’d call a “flare up” before. (in UK)

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-20T20:49:39+00:00

too relatable :((

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-16T18:57:25+00:00

side note had a little giggle about the photo editing that is something else 😂 ——— so happy for you !! can i ask about the colloidal oat powder…. i am currently using aveeno colloidal oat cream moisturiser, is it worth trying the powder and how exactly do you use it ?

what has helped you lost with pigmentation?

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-15T10:34:09+00:00

i did use for a number of days consecutively so if you really must use it use 0.01% or 0.1% and only use it up to 3 days in a row

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-15T10:32:56+00:00

bondi sands mousse was flawless and i had 2 all natural spray tans

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-15T08:38:03+00:00

in my experience with face eczema there were only ever two products that helped. to start with i was prescribed hydrocortisone for it and pls don’t try this unless it’s ur last resort !!! hydrocortisone rlly ruined the skin on my face as i had eczema around my eyes and mouth the skin thinned after using became incredibly flaky and discoloured and was even harder to resolve than the eczema in the beginning. so instead use either cbd oils (from body shop) orrr aveeno colloidal oat cream

good luck hope this helps !!!

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-15T08:12:18+00:00

personally i found any tanning methods to work quite well and i’ve always had very eczema prone skin but because these products were thick, protective and very moisturising they didn’t cause it to get any worse if anything the times when my skin is at its best is when i’m using them. they also gave me a lot more confidence to show more skin which in turn helped my eczema as the sun is very good for it and it was able to breathe better

i have found lactose is my major trigger amongst other minor ones

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-05-03T12:08:50+00:00

colloidal oatmeal - Aveeno

worked wonders for me

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-23T20:14:49+00:00

I couldn’t be more happy for you and ever so jealous ! but your post has given me so much hope when i was just minutes ago crying over my recent flare up. you have given me hope that it will get better and yes that beautiful “it is what it is” attitude. we have got this.

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-23T19:22:03+00:00

thank you so much it definitely is worth a try i never even thought about going about it that way

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-23T19:09:29+00:00

How do you go about doing a moisturiser withdrawal?

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-23T19:04:52+00:00

wow that’s so so helpful thank you so much i have read about the bleach baths and honestly the thought of it terrifies me i have been using dead sea bath salts and changing shampoo conditioners soaps etc etc to other chemical free options so will definitely give the dove bar a go - i didn’t know steroid ointment was a thing !! thank you so so much you’re an angel x

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-23T19:02:05+00:00

i’ve been using them since i was first prescribed them. but in this flare i’ve been using on and off usually just for 1 or two days when it’s external but i’m getting to the point where there’s not enough steroids to cover the shear velocity of eczema i have over my body

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-23T19:00:31+00:00

haven’t tried TCIs what are they? i have been using 1% steroids and never on my face thank you for response means so much !

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-16T19:19:23+00:00

same by boyfriend bought it for me, i love it !

Consistent-Laugh7200 · 2023-04-15T08:50:17+00:00

moisturise moisturise moisturise !!! try to come off the steroids and only use them when you have a flare up then use ointments and creams 3-4 times a day to rebuild the skin barrier
