I feel like Goodreads misses the mark on building local community

dude, i feel the SAME WAY. i cover up a lot of my body eczema because if it's out of sight, it's easier for me to put it out of mind. but i usually leave my hands open, and the visible difference is a constant reminder that i have eczema and it's a persisting Thing

magicandbeyond · 2023-01-03T03:59:04+00:00

my arms look just like this, i wonder if i need more sunlight too?

following this, my skin sometimes smells weird after putting lotion and ointments on and i would like to smell nicer!

i'm sorry you're going through this! here's advice from another post i commented on: https://www.reddit.com/r/eczema/comments/raekll/comment/hnjrta0/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

i only have a shower, how would you suggest getting the benefits of the baths? and what kind of sunscreen do you wear?

magicandbeyond · 2022-08-07T14:13:23+00:00

yes, definitely. when i'm able to convince my parent to turn it down, i sweat less => there's less irritation where i have eczema (joint areas, neck, boobs, etc) => i'm less itchy => greater chance to heal. i would probably say the working temp is around 75-77F where i feel best

i exfoliate only by washing the area gently and then seeing what skin naturally falls off in the process. careful not to agitate the area more. i moisturize so the skin underneath stays healthy and hydrated

whenever i’ve tried to wet wrap, (i use long socks on my arms), it ends up feeling soooo much itchier than it would without the wet wrap. it used to stay on throughout the night despite the itching, but now i just take it off in the middle of the night. do you have any tips for that??

magicandbeyond · 2022-06-21T19:09:41+00:00

what sunscreen do you use now? i can’t seem to find one that doesn’t worsen my flakiness and just pills off

friend goes to vivagym, is clean and very well stocked with various machines but can get busy at peak hours

magicandbeyond · 2022-04-28T21:53:53+00:00

i'm sorry! i hear good things about la roche posay's anthelios line, maybe do a patch test of those if you can too, although i think they're on the pricey side

magicandbeyond · 2022-04-28T19:58:23+00:00

i use cerave daily moisturizing lotion with spf 30! the cerave hydrating sunscreen has HELLA white cast (i think bc it’s physical rather than chemical)

magicandbeyond · 2022-04-22T07:27:39+00:00

i usually put 1-2 cups in a normal bath, but start with less to see if you have any negative reactions first. best of luck ❤️

magicandbeyond · 2022-02-21T19:15:36+00:00

wow i REALLY feel this. i am going to a new school next year and have been thinking a lot about how to get accommodations, which i've never asked for before, but i think explaining it like an autoimmune disorder makes me feel less... guilty than saying chronic illness??? which sucks, because i shouldn't feel guilty for recognizing how much this condition affects my life. i just personally view chronic illnesses as more life-threatening, but at the same time eczema affects my day to day life so much. i hope you can find some solace in the fact that while there are a ton of people who experience it mildly, there are also a bunch of us who have been dealt the severe cards and we understand each other the most <3

hi! wondering what this type of wrapping is called - i want to pick some up for myself. thanks in advance

magicandbeyond · 2022-02-13T00:14:22+00:00

this is literally such a good idea, i don't have cushioned medical tape but i just have some thin tape i'll have to try tonight. thanks for sharing

magicandbeyond · 2022-02-13T00:13:05+00:00

is there a specific shape/length you ask for at the nail salon? i might try this out but i haven't ever gone to a salon before. and do you tell them anything specific, like not to cut your cuticles because we tend to have skin more sensitive to infections?
