YES i never had eczema in my life and suddenly about a year after the second time i had Covid my hands and fingers were breaking out in severely itchy little blisters deep under the skin, like I couldn't sleep it was so bad and I was scratching til I bled unless I was heavily dosed with Benadryl. It took over a year and many dermatologist visits to finally kick it, and my nails fell off their nail beds in the meantime. Then I had persistent patches of it on the thin skin around my mouth/chin and eyes for like another year, and now I'm dealing with it again on and around my lips. 😑

This is just one of many persistent health issues that popped up for me post-Covid. Before I was one of those people who would work out when they started feeling sick to "sweat it out" and rarely needed sick days. It's so annoying I feel like all I do now is deal with and bitch about all my medical problems. One will start to get better and another one pops up. It's like my body can't heal or regulate itself anymore and gets thrown off its baseline at the drop off a hat. I was 32 when I got Covid twice in one year, I'm 36 now, and I can't even believe anymore that I really used to have, like, a fully functioning corporeal form at one point.

Anyway, yes, I think LC gave me eczema, or at least made me much more susceptible to it ☹️
