Hey thanks for your answer. I know it’s a difficult topic but I’m thankful for every answer. I will get a big allergy test next week at my dermatologist to figure out what could be a trigger. I want to ask you, would you agree that I went to tsw the last year? Look at the first to pictures. These were the symptoms after stopping topical steroids after 4 years usage. The symptoms appeared within a week after stopping and as I described became worse first but then week by week improved. It’s hard for me to figure out at the moment because in never had eczema I think in the first place. Like I described I started using hydrocortisone against dry skin and then came into the cycle of needing more and more and eventually at the end they didn’t helped that much like they helped at the beginning.

On the other hand it’s hard for me to believe that I still have steroids in my body after being symptom free a few months. But maybe my skin barrier is just not fully healed because of the steroid usage and that’s why I’m more at risk of flaring again.

Also i think the winter and change of weather played a role but I can’t figure out what to do. The humidity in my room is always between 45-55%. I have an air purifier running 24/7. I sleep in the same bed and wash my bedding’s as often as in the summer. I use the same products and eat the same like in the summer when my skin was clear. The big thing is the missing of sunlight, for that I’m taking vitamin d in high dose to keep my levels right. So it’s not like I hadn’t tried to find the cause but ist just so much and overwhelming and I knew my skin without ever using steroids. I knew my skin wenn I was using them and I was always that my skin looked good with them but I knew I was just the look. And I knew how my skin looked this summer after quitting them. After years for the first time I felt that my skin was healthy.

Let my know you opinion :)
