so i have eczema.. anyone reading this probably does. lol.... but i hate it so much..who doesn't? but nobody seems to care about it. today i was in so much pain from it.. i never said anything to anyone..because they don't understand it... if you do say something they just give you a sad look.. how can i talk about it for support when nobody cares? i really think im becoming depressed. my family doesn't care. my house is filled with stress and it is making my eczema worse... they don't care! and don't say to me "im here for you..i know how you feel, you'll get through it....just no there are other people like you." ok no you aren't here for me...just messageing me give me no support...yes i know you know how i feel..ok???.......and yes there are other people with eczema...i just want to meet someone in real life...face to face..and talk to them.... im sorry guys....but life is really starting to suck with eczema.. i feel ugly.. im affraid to show where it is.. i want to wear long sleeve shirts and pants..but its freakin hot. and then i have to deal with people's "whats that?" i just want it to go away....

I so understand what it is like, I am Denise I am 53 years old and I have had eczema all my life. It is a curse in such a way but if you can get some sort of relief from the pain it causes then maybe it it won't be so bad. I have found the french clay mixed with olive oil and let dry some then moisturize afterwards is a good help for the hands and all bad areas. Also be aware of your diet, dairy products are and inflaming foods and it does matter what you eat. As far as the lack of support with your family I am so sorry, I uinderstand that predjuice that happens with skin problems. You are still so young, I hate to see you so unhappy and so without hope. If there is anything that I can do to help let me know and I will do the best I can. There comes a point when you just have to buck it up and wear that short sleaved shirt, shorts and not feel shame. It will come. I have had many harsh experiences in my life with it all, most recently a younger woman I was driving asked me how I lived with my hands looking like they hurt so much. Well they did hurt that day but how I put it to her was that though it was a curse in ways I had realized that perhpas it was given to me to know how it was to be looked down upon and judged just from the look of my hands. Its essence has given me insight to know how that feels to others and to have that much more compassion for others in life. I had 3 children and I prayed every day that none of them would have the eczema problem, God blessed me there too. And I also hope that you can find some support with your family and at least are going to a doctor. Hope to hear back. Denise
