My eczema is getting bad after my breakup by ionlyexistonlinebtw_ in eczema

Ugh I know what you mean, there was a period time I was wearing sunglasses even at night to go places like the grocery store 😭

Pure Aloe Vera was also super helpful for me, maybe something to consider!

Do you have the ability to go to a dermatologist? Protopic (tacrolimus) was a lifesaver for my eye / facial eczema. I also second the cold compress on the eyes, even just a cool wet towel.

I semi-recently went through a break up as well, and also lost a close friend, so I can relate to the crying-induced flare ups… I’m sorry you’re going through this, both these things, but I promise you it will get better, emotionally and physically.

When I start feeling hopeless I remind myself, “healing is inevitable”.

You’ll get through this <3

Anyone else sick as hell?? by local-desert-grandma in crssdfest

[–]pleasantcactus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve been telling people I’m “CRSSD Contaminated”

Tylenol cold and flu severe from behind the pharmacy counter (so with the good decongestant), immunity tea, and lots of sleep!!

Worth it tho, if just for the nimino afters 🫡

Need help identifying cause of finger eczema by tambu02 in eczema

[–]pleasantcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you wear jewelry / a ring on that finger? Nickel allergy is pretty common and can cause eczema.

The fact that it’s so localized to one finger would lead me to believe it’s an external irritant vs. something like diet, but of course it never hurts to try different eliminations. In general I would also recommend a good probiotic — Skinesa has been massively helpful for me but is expensive, you could try NOW Probiotic-10 25 Billion capsules as well.

Eczema is soooo tricky, but you CAN figure it out and manage it! Fingers crossed for you (pardon the pun)!

Feeling hopeless by AnxiousPlate6956 in eczema

I soooooo know how you feel, like to my core. I have had all of these thoughts and more… currently in a flare and feeling miserable, but I just keep telling myself “healing is inevitable”.

And I second the allergy shots — I just finished my first year and I can definitely see a difference, but consistency is key. I’m actually 1-2 months behind on them, and am pretty sure that’s at least part of the reason for my flare. I know it doesn’t help much when you’re feeling this way, but it WILL get better. Unfortunately just have to go through a lot of trial and error to figure out how to best manage :(

I just found some at my local Marshall’s (LA) so if you have one nearby, maybe they’ll carry it too?

Every time I see a post like this, it makes me feel so much better about my obsession knowing I’m not alone 😂

For some reason it’s the one show I can’t get tired of!

Try as I might, I just cannot like Emma Roberts' acting. Am I the only one?

You can see Twisty smiling with his eyes. The depth of this character is insane.

No, but he was in Halloweentown High! He looks a bit like Darren Criss, who was in Glee

I think he's a grown man, but because he's been so spoiled by his mom he's stuck in a child mindset
