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.
Hello I'm Reynaldo Gil I live in Omaha, Ne Im 12 years old And I Have Eczema.
Eczema has been a huge part of my life it has it's ups and Downs and I have a fare share of tears struggling with it. I get upset which I know it makes it worse but I sometimes wanna give up but I say I can't because one thing I found out about eczema sure it makes you insecure about yourself but it also makes you stronger. I go to doctors and dermatologist and they always tell me the same things and it's hard for my parents to see me going through this but not by myself because I have them. I've always been interested about eczema every once in a while I'll read other peoples stories and look though up facts about it and stuff. But I'm not a huge fan of it I sometimes wanna break down sometimes but I say 'I can't I just can't ' my friends know What I'm going through and im lucky for that but when it gets worse I don't like them to see me sad and in pain so sometimes I'll keep my distances from them have my Hood up so they don't see the eczema on my face I don't take off my jacket and wear mostly jeans even if it's 100 out I mean people say it's not bad but my insecurity is say I don't like What I see.
When I wake up I look at the mirror and say 'I don't like What I see.' Sometimes I'll avoid looking in the mirror so I don't start bawling out. My eczema doesn't show up as much as It did before but my face gets terrible like swollen and puffy. And I can't stay home because I've messed to many days of school of my eczema. What Im trying to say is that my eczema gets in the way from me having fun. can somebody tell me if theres support groups in omaha, ne where people can talk to other people about their eczema and what their going through. And also What are good face creams/ointments the one I use is protopic. It does good sometimes and What are some things to do to stop me from thinking about it and when I feel sad. Thank you for reading my story if you don't have advice please feel free to put your comments or stories down below.
Thank you for making feel like I'm not the only person. Going through this

Add me as a friend...then you can talk to me whenever you feel like it.
Hugs to you!!
its who i am.. and i hate the winter just like the summer..im usually itchy year round.. and i have social anxiety so i rarely go out..since im home with my family, they accept me.. itchy and red or not.. so i just have sensitive skin..no matter how bad it may get.. its just "sensitive skin"
hope that helps..
:)
I wish I knew something that would help with the itching...and yes I've already been to a dermatologist and an allergist and neither one of them have helped. In fact over the years, I have probably been to a dozen dermatologists and none of them have helped!!
We may not go through similar eczema situation but I'm here to say that you are not alone.
My story is that I have gotten eczema since 14. I am 22 this year and up till today, NONE of my friends and family members knew I have them . All they see is scars and red spots all around and all I tell them is that I have a bad allergy reaction.
I dont get them on my face tho. But theres spots on my tummy, thighs, and butt.
Wearing plain tees and shorts does great in covering up my eczema areas but my dream is to be able to wear a bikini out on a beach. :(
Doctors all say the same thing but all i can tell you and anyone reading this is that, STAY STRONG. have faith! and hopefully, one day. we will all find a solution!
If you want to know more,feel free to contact me,you will be glad u did.
