I hate my skin.
I am very frustrated with my skin. I have eczema that has flared up in the last few days and sores are all over my body. I have no idea why it happens or what causes it and the fact that it doesn't just bother me, but it also bothers my husband who sleeps in the same bed as I do. I know I'm not going sleep very well tonight because I am going to be trying so hard not to scratch!!

sorry you have this condition. I know my old boss had a mild case and she was always using hand cream but it didn\'t seem to help. hopefully the flare up settles down soon
Antihistamines. Don\'t eat rice, sugar, pasta or green leafy vegetables. Don\'t drink alcohol.
Take a lukewarm shower before bed and coat your skin with a thick cream or ointment. When the skin dries out and gets cracked, that\'s when it starts to itch badly. Also, try not to get overheated at night, as that can cause you to itch, too. I\'m so sorry you are going through this. I can totally relate!
I went to the doctor and was prescribed an antihistamine to control the itch. It is called Hydroxyz pam. Benadryl is an over the counter one that will help you get sleepy and stop itching.
I have read that bipolar stress and eczema can be related.
Benadryl
Yes, eczema and bipolar stress are definitely related!!
