Bleah-czema

My journey with atopic dermatitis, mainly ranting! Trying steroid-free since 2017, tweeting 'cause at least I don't have to bore my friends with my #skinthings!

People that "I had the worst #eczema but I got the secret to cure it! Wanna know how? Buy my book!", you are scams and I despise you!! #rant

Also taking anti histamine more freely, say every other day or if I can feel a bout of face itchiness coming. The whole non scratching plan seems to be the hardest to stick to, but I am still trying!
I am noticing some improvements so I'll stick to this for a little longer!

A follow up on the new face washing regime: Serozinc has become my cleanser, I spritz it, rub it in, wipe it away gently with a cotton pad or facecloth, spritz it again sparingly and then moisturise normally. Tap water is allowed near my face only when I'm in the shower, soap (1)

[Bleah-czema @bleah_czema]

So I'm guessing this technique is cleansing enough, but it's been about 10 days. I did a couple of Dead Sea Salt baths. V soothing, V relaxing, trying to make them at least a weekly occurrence. Moisturiser is the usual and it gets slathered on at constantly, nothing new here (3)

@eczemasupport It works only if I literally keep on telling myself not to and keep my hands occupied...I hope it might become habit if I stick to it long enough!🤔

Trying a no tap water facewashing regime, to manage the stupid face flareup! So far rinsed with water and Dead Sea salt (yesterday evening) and used Serozinc spray and a cotton pad this am...all of this is not sustainable moneywise, send help!

Trying a no tap water face washing regime, to manage my stupid face flareups...not sure how to pull this off🤦🏻‍♀️🧖‍♀️
So far rinsed in Dead Sea Salt water (as in tap water + DSS) or the serozinc spray from LRP, but clearly not sustainable moneywise. We'll see...

Retweeting so I can always come back to it!

@eczemasupport Thank you!

[Bleah-czema @bleah_czema]

I haven't looked at myself in the mirror all day but I know for a fact that my face is flaring I can feel my cheeks and eyes getting redder and redder as we speak!

@thomas_traciee Eeek the ankle is really annoying 😟

[Bleah-czema @bleah_czema]

Just a selfie of me grinning like a maniac because my face has been looking like a face for a month now, instead of the usual red, flare-y, unhealthy mess that it was, so yes, go face, stay strong, stay smooth, you're doing amazing sweetie!
