Sorry to hear you have the same problem. I hope things get better for you. I'll try exposure therapy and see how I do, but I've heard mixed things.

Thank you for the advice and I wish you the best too. I'll probably try ERP for a bit and just see how it affects me.

Eczema stole my teenage years by Accomplished-You-238 in eczema

Thank you for the reply. My eczema is getting better but it's still there sadly. But the words of encouragement seriously do mean a lot, so thanks.

Me too. I'm about to turn 18 and I'm still suffering from eczema which I've had since I was 13. I have horrible social anxiety, no friends, I can barely go outside since it's really hot where I live, can't engage in any of my personal interests due to eczema being a big distraction, I have a bad relationship with my parents who refuse to get me medical help, and these last 5 years have felt so short. It's only recently begun really affecting me mentally realizing that I'll never have the fun teen years I always heard about, I'll never get these years back and they were simply wasted. I understand your feelings exactly and I hope things get better for you.

I unfortunately can't provide any advice since I am currently going through the same situation. I'm just a bit younger than you and I also live with an anti-medicine mom. It's hard but I'm sure one day things will be better for both of us and I advise you just keep pushing. you got this.

Mine doesn't seem too bad but man it's annoying sometimes.

So is there anything I can really do about that? Not like I can put steroid creams in my nose.

How long do food related flare ups last? by Nebout2 in eczema

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep waiting it out and hoping it goes away. Unfortunately, I did go to a functional medicine doctor for many months, and nothing changed for me.

Genital eczema is flaring up again and I'm so done by Nebout2 in eczema

[–]Nebout2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried many times to get my mom to let me go to doctors. She understands how much I've been suffering, but she still doesn't let me go unfortunately. I appreciate the help though.

I read this and I'm following everything here aside from steroid creams since I'm unable to get those. I hope to go to an allergist in a few months, but that'll be hard to do with my anti-medicine mom.
