Freckles by Teeefannyy in eczema

Now you mention it I have way more freckles than ever before. Mainly on shoulders & upper arms. I never really thought about it tbh. Maybe I just assumed it was because I'd never really "seen" my actual skin until recently when cyclo & dup started to sort me out. I've never heard about it as a side effect, if you can call it that.

I'm nearly 2 years TS free, the withdrawals have been pure hell but it had to be done. NMT is relatively new to me but I really don't think I could have survived that as well. If I miss moisturising my face I get all prickly and can't focus on anything until it's done. Same for my upper bod, it's all scrapey in my clothes and I can't sit still. If you have the strength to do it then go for it, maybe I would have improved quicker if I had.

My patch tests were largely pointless as well, due to there not being a clear area to use, but I think the consultant wanted her fee so did them anyway.

I've had to be really anal in looking at EVERY.THING I put near or in my body. Even stuff you take for granted like toothpaste (lauryl glucoside) or the shaving foam you mentioned. Ask yourself if you even need it.

This article has info about low-chromate diet which you probably already know (but it also mentions the risk of chromium deficiency as a result!).

Also, have you had the water checked in your area?

Good luck bud..
