How's Life?
4 months ago
It's TMI (but what is the internet for if I can't tell a bunch of strangers really offputting personal details) but since November i've been experiencing the worst eczema flare of my whole life. I'm always dry, I'm always flaking, always itchy, shedding skin in great amounts to the point where I suspect it's making me sick. My skin is tough and raw. I'm recovering from a UTI. I think I may be undergoing perimenopause (this gives me a lot of bad dysphoria because I don't want to have anything to do with sex or gender). I haven't been able to get much in the way of help because how things are now, it was already difficult before but now everything is worse. Understandably because I'm American I'm not doing so hot. My grandmother also recently passed away. Nothing I can afford really relieves my chronic/constant physical pains and discomforts. The closest thing to comfort I can get is like an Arizona Iced Tea. Everyone I know is going through a hard time so I really hope we all make it.

I get dry flaking skin on my hands and fingers once in a while. I believe its from stress. Excessive stress makes all sorts of issues occur or exacerbated. Eucerin lotion helped me remoisturize my hands, but if you have a more extreme case, you may need a prescription especially for eczema.

OP
Yeah I think in my case stress may be the main cause - I just have to find ways to lower it :')
