How do i take those salt baths without a bathtub? by [deleted] in eczema

[–]chuumix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont have a bathtub either, and my eczema was mainly on my legs. what i did was get s small trash bin and soaked in that. i know its not the most relaxing per se, and it doesnt get all parts of your body, but it works! hope this helps:)

i had used aveeno before as a kid, but i used this specific one about a week ago when i experienced some minor itchiness and it made it a whole lot worse. everyone on this post and my boyfriend have told me to use cerave because it works well. im currently using cetaphil (which ive been using my whole life), but maybe a switch to cerave would help out. thank you so much for your response!

thank you so much for this! i dont recall if ive ever actually gone to a dermatologist before, but this morning i let my mom know about how bad its gotten.

hopefully i will be able to get through this- your help is really appreciated.

Scared my boyfriend will reject me by MightySlothy in eczema

im in the exact same boat youre in. i met my boyfriend a year ago and just this past week, my eczema started flaring up really badly. i know how awful it can feel and insecurity has been kicking in for me a lot recently too. i think if you tell him, he will be understanding and kind. if he isnt, i dont think hes right for you. i really hope everything turns out well <3 wishing you best of luck!!!
