Eczema Support Group
Eczema is a form of inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. The main symptoms are skin rashes characterized by redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, with possible crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding. Eczema can be extremely physically and socially uncomfortable. If you're an eczema sufferer, join the group and get support.
Hi ! i'm 17 and i just join this group because i really feel like i need some support right now :(.
It has been really hard, i've had it since birth on the back of my knees, my neck, my arms and hands but it kept switching, it went away for a while and it recently came back quite severe.
I now just have it on my scalp as well and it is called seborrheic dermatitis, it itches pretty badly.
Plus just recently i now have discoloration on one side of my hand and on both sinde of my arm braces where i most experience with eczema, with research just today i found eczema can cause pigmentation loss and it is pretty rare.
Honestly i feel really bad right now, it went away for a year and just came back this year and just around now is the time i'm getting serious and will do what it takes to deal with it! It has been hard studying and i have college entrance exam next year and don't get me started with working out which is something i wish i could do happily.
I will order curel itch defence lotion , do wet and salt bath therapy and eat healthier and also buy more soft clothes and bed sheets and get serious with my sleep routine as well as try to work out !
Still right now i'm feeling upset, irritated,sad annoyed just argh :( but i will still fight ! :)
If anybody want to chat with me please please feel free to, it would be a dream to have someone who can relate that i can talk to and support each other :)
I definitely feel your pain. My eczema has been off and on my whole life. This past year has been one of the worst though.
It was around my neck so bad at one point that I couldn't turn my head. :(
This past semester for school was my first one in college, and my rash got worse after all the final exams. (I am sensitive to stress, ugh)
My e-mail is: shannonden16@gmail.com if you ever want to chat, vent, or cry,
feel free to do so! I feel so much better when I know someone understands how I feel. My sister has eczema as well... but it's not as bad as mine.
Love,
Shannon
