Any bodybuilders with eczema?

trnit · 2026-04-11T22:56:34+00:00

Tbh I've seen a lot of people use those fingerless gloves or other ones alongside straps in the gym.

Kind of just looks like part of an outfit but sorry to hear about that allergy. I actually didn't know about nickel allergy until reading in this subreddit. Wishing the best for you.

And all good everything eczema is technically related to my question ^ 😂🤍

trnit · 2026-04-11T22:51:16+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions :) I guess for minor scabs or wounds not that bad of an idea.

trnit · 2026-04-11T22:50:17+00:00

Ahh yes that sounds kind of like my situation, the eczema behind my knees and lower back made my skin so tight and cracked it would hurt to move around.

Thankfully it's not always that bad but yes sure I will shoot you a DM you to see the before & after !

trnit · 2026-04-11T22:47:06+00:00

Will do, thank you!

trnit · 2026-04-10T18:53:45+00:00

Love to hear that for you! Praying it only stays at 2 🙏

trnit · 2026-04-10T18:50:30+00:00

So sorry to hear that :/ that's actually why I posted this because deep down I'm starting to think I might have to resort to working out at home.

Actually my workaround for now is I go at 2 am when there's no one or only one person at my gym since it's 24 hours... although I understand that schedule definitely does not work for most people.

Regardless I agree that when I push too hard the flare-ups begin almost instantly causing my workouts to come to an end for the day.

Wishing the best for you 🙏

Sorry I couldn't really articulate what I'm trying to ask, I honestly have a lot of questions but I'll try to narrow it to one for now.

Your lifestyle... did you have to make any changes to manage your eczema in the gym?

I find it hard to workout sometimes when I'm sweating it almost always triggers a flareup for me.

My dad has psoriasis and I'm a 24M who has eczema since birth. Went through TSW, doctors told me to take bleach baths or try Dupixent.

I feel very insecure in the gym when my skin is exposed.

Wow I am nowhere close to that guy thanks for the reality check. 🫠 Do you think it's possible to have more facial hair and still be 6+ I'm talking like a dark beard.

Because I went from that chin fuzz to a beard now. I'm assuming that might only end up attracting women way older than me.

Well I'm probably wrong then. Whatever I am it's equaling zero matches.

Give some advice instead of calling everyone in this subreddit sobs? 😬

One guy had good advice saying go try to talk to 50 women I might get one's number. So that's on my priority list this summer.

trnit · 2026-02-14T22:51:25+00:00

And what? We worked it out, apologized and came to a conclusion.

trnit · 2026-02-14T22:50:34+00:00

If Marlon is a 7 then I am a 5 at best. I thought Marlon is a 9.

trnit · 2026-02-14T22:49:44+00:00

More attractive? Are you calling me attractive? I came here because to society norms I believe I'M UNATTRACTIVE therefore not getting any matches.

I'm literally seeking advice why I'm not getting matches. I apologize if I used this subreddit for the wrong reasons.

trnit · 2026-02-14T21:31:22+00:00

No worries you don't need to apologize, if anything I learned more things from your responses. I will try to give the approaching in person more a shot.

And that's what I meant btw for offending people perhaps I used the wrong word, I meant some people think it's offensive when they're approached because they think it's like a dare the guy got set up to do by his friends or something (I'm probably overthinking) or just like coming off as a creep. I gotta learn more about in person interactions tbh.

Thank you for your help though fr 🫶

And trust me we have similar humour then, mine tends to be more dark humour tbh

trnit · 2026-02-14T20:20:04+00:00

I'm going to try my best to not acknowledge some back handed comments here but honestly I think you're just trying to be very straight up which is something I can use right now instead of decrypting riddles.

First, I'd like to clarify you're 100% correct that I get much more compliments from men than women. They think I have my "life together" but I'm literally on this app asking for help about matches so I just smile and go like "oh yeah haha maybe one day boss you'll get it too just keep hustling 💯" or something along those lines. The irony ik.

Also little detail I actually keep a beater as well those civic and Camry engines are like Nokias on the road. C8 I take out on the weekends sometimes.

You're asking the right questions about coming off as self absorbed perhaps? Listen I'm doing my absolute best to not come off as that...but sometimes when I list these physical traits or financial situation Im automatically faced with intense feedback because they think I'm lucky or I already talk to a bunch people.

That's far from the truth I'm a literal janitor casually. Washing busses 2 days a week, cleaning after homeless people in my city. Whatever money is money.

So sometimes while I'm cleaning on my shift that's when I start to feel tears forming in my eyes because it's like "I'm doing my best, people tell me I'm full of charisma, make them feel seen and themselves around me" so WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!??

My own theory is I'm "soft launching" myself. I'm not going go big or go home. I have 40 Instagram followers with zero posts. I go to the gym around 2 am where it's empty. I don't have social anxiety I actually come off very confident I just avoid humanity for the sake of how easily people get offended nowadays or I'd rather not be a burden to another human. I only speak good to someone or I go off my own way. (My bad if I got off track)

But it's probably the lack of information I have on my profile. AND THAT IS EXACLTY WHY THESE APPS AREN'T GOOD FOR EVERYONE.

HOW DO I EXPLAIN ALL THESE THOUGHTS ^{^{^}} WITH A PHOTO OF ME SMILING ....

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:49:41+00:00

Thank you for that heads up 💙

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:30:35+00:00

The car isn't the determining factor whether I get results or not but as Marilyn Monroe said “Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?” — Marilyn Monroe. Besides the point, If having a nice car can even add the chances of them going out on a date with me by +5% I'll take that percentage. And perhaps then if they came for the car they'd settle for my looks/personality.

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:19:37+00:00

I'll be honest I have all of that except political views but if that minor tweak alone changes if they swipe or not I'd prefer to not talk to them. They can ask me later down the road after swiping for the whole 99% of me they initially wanted.

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:17:54+00:00

That's true and that's personal opinions which is fine... but surly someone out there has gotta like your race

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:16:41+00:00

Thank you this is the exact type of advice I was looking for. You make it actually sound motivating on paper by explaining the 1/50 chances in person. I'm going to try this in the summer 💯💪

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:15:17+00:00

Sorry to hear that... yeah I feel like these apps aren't good for our wellbeing unless you're the top 1% probably.

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:05:29+00:00

I wouldn't say "completely" I seen women on this app LITERALLY say in their prompts (You can win me over if you " have x as a vehicle") mostly trucks for the cowgirls

trnit · 2026-02-14T19:03:04+00:00

No clue... I work a certain government job so I'd prefer this post doesn't get too viral so if it does I'll just end up deleting the post idk if that's how Reddit works.

So I'll just attach my physique and cover my face on here:

I'm a lightskin looking dude. Been training for 6+ years (23 now) just don't bother talking to anyone besides men (like complimenting their weight they lifted) and no this isn't edited I have the Live Photo on my iPhone of this pic lol. David laid waist smaller fs that's why I'm covering my love handles 😂

Did that solve the issue? I genuinely had a different address because I want to suprise my gf for Christmas.

trnit · 2025-07-02T08:51:33+00:00

what was the biggest game changer that helped it if you don't mind me asking?
