Diary Of An Eczema Sufferer
400 FOLLOWERS
All the writings are my own thoughts from observations I have made as I have suffered eczema for 20-30 years. I started this blog to help heal myself and I am pretty much there. I don't take the advice of doctors and people who knew of someone else who applied some cream that magically made their symptoms disappear. I have taken a more holistic approach of healing because I don't want..

I cycled to COP26 and back. 22 days out as we were visiting schools and collecting Climate Action pledges and 14 days back home. Before COP26 my skin had returned to be a mess and both my eyes had become puffy and sticky. On the journey back, the skin had calmed right down and the eczema had pretty much disappeared.
On my way back I visited an Uncle who is an optometrist and he said I had Blepharitis.
So back home, 3 days later and everything starts back up again. I am blaming the place I am living in. Perhaps it is stress. The skin around the eyes are awful and looks like I have d ..read more

am sure that should feature in a hard rock song.....
Many look at the skin on their body

I air my bedding out every day, shaking out the skin and imagine it is a feast for the bugs waiting on the lawn.
Even when it rains, I go outside to shake out my sheets.
I look forward to the day when my skin is smooth and I can find very little dead skin on my bed ..read more

For the last couple of nights I've been hot. Maybe woman issues or maybe things am eating.
Notably on the Friday night had a lot of cheese and rich food; on Saturday night had a lot of foods high in fat: corn on the cob dripped in butter; greasy fried noodles; greasy eggs; chips with lots of butter. My liver was having a hard time and I oozed heat at night.....sweat.... and itchy skin.
So no more fatty foods and cheese for me ..read more

In 2020, my mother suggested I try Lutein.
This appears to have worked to reduce the eye irritation and hence me scratching the surrounding skin and causing poor skin health. The skin around my eyes are now great :)
At the end of 2020, the skin on my back decided to ..... well I have no idea how that happened...
...then it went back to the arms, front, groin, now legs and neck.... oh and parts of my scalp.It is end of August and I have let things get a wee bit out of control. So much has been happening despite Covid.
At least I can appreciate that the skin around my eyes is great ..read more

My eyes have been red and irritated for so long. An itchiness below the left eye has now been around for sooo many years. It goes away when am in the sun. Watching something and looks like what I have - periorbital dermatitis https://www.facebook.com/kerwinrae/videos/572651766905444/ Maybe it goes away when am in the right place and it returns when am out of place.... hm ..read more
