kristen applebees

very classic “big religious ‘wholistic medicine’ family” vibes, growing up when she had flare ups (worst on palms of hands, back of the neck) her parents would clarify some beef fat and slather her in the tallow. it provided some decent symptom relief but would never really alleviate the flare ups themselves. terrible hand wringer as a child, the friction and moisture propelled her into having dishydrotic flare ups constantly which really grossed out her folks. made to wear home-knit gloves at night to keep her from scratching but since they were knit her fingernails would eventually dig through the weaving and she’d scratch anyway. in present day, she always has a pocket sized Fantasy Vaseline attached to her keys or easily accessible. is still a Slatherer, she grabs it with multiple fingers and slaps that shit on THICK. finds her flare ups aren’t nearly as bad now that she doesn’t live with her family and get exposed to their stress/allergens.

fabian seacaster

barely even knew he had eczema as a kid cause his parents lavished him with the most expensive imported elvish remedies. after every bath he was covered head to toe in oil of hippocampi and his bedside vanity was stocked full of ornate golden cosmetics pots of rich creams and lotions and potions. these days his most common flare ups are on the inner thighs (from riding Hangman) and the inner corners of his eyebrows (he runs his thumbs across them to smooth the hair down too often). he has riz keep his fancy shit in his bag of holding and at this point has a non verbal hand gesture to indicate he wants riz to pass him his lotion. his toxic eczema trait is that he can’t stop using scented lotion even though he knows it’s gonna make him itchy. fuck that he’s GOING to smell good so help him Gods

riz gukgak

sort of just thought the itchy, blistery, painful patches of skin popping up were just part of his goblin physiology. saw sklonda with her own flare ups, generally unable to treat them medicinally because of their scarce resources, mostly just wore clothes that covered them and made it harder to itch, at worst she would run her arms under cool water for some temporary relief. riz became an Eczema Licker (the horrible cycle of ‘when my flare ups are actively wet they don’t hurt but getting them wet over and over makes it Worse). would sit on the school bus and shamefully lick his inner elbows, where his flare ups are the worst. when he met the bad kids and learned there were Other Options for him it was game changing. interestingly enough, he actually responds very well to kristen’s former beef tallow method, and so she clarifies a new big jar for him every month. adaine watches him like a hawk to make sure he doesn’t absentmindedly lick at his elbows with his long ass goblin tongue.

adaine abernant

her parents were well aware of her eczema but only in the sense that they saw her symptoms and concluded it to be a grow-out able character flaw. offered her lotion but only hoity toity deeply scented floral lotions that simply made it worse, and when she refused them they would tell her “see, you don’t even WANT to get better. you like the attention this gets you”. her stress flare ups are BAD and she gets really awful stomach and back eczema. her sister used to make fun of her for the way she would writhe in her sleep trying to reach parts of her back to scratch but couldn’t. she also has dishydrotic eczema and this is really tough in tandem with her desire to wash her hands consistently. thankfully, her denim jacket now provides her with the exact type and quantity of lotion she needs at any given time, which she is always willing to share with her friends when they need it. takes the immune system response function of eczema really seriously, now living away from her parents has collected solid data about what foods, soaps, detergents, cleaning products etc will cause a flare up vs which are safe.

gorgug thistlespring

his parents were extremely on the ball when it came to managing his eczema. from a young age they educated him on exactly what biological mechanisms were at play, not to be ashamed of it, that it wasn’t contagious, and encouraged and supported him to find a lifestyle with as few flare up triggers as possible. they hand brew his batches of lotion and store it in custom jars each with a cute note attached reminding him how often to use it and how to store it. he isn’t always the best at remembering to bring some with him when he leaves the house, tho. his worst flare ups are around his mouth/lips because of the constant moisture and pressure from his tusks. tried fabian’s really expensive fancy shit one time at his insistence and had a terrible allergic reaction. fabian called the elvish company to complain and demand a refund on his last 11 orders, then used the money to take him and gorgug out for a deep tissue massage.

Fig Faeth

then she had her father daughter dance and you cry again. they are not awkward, they are not unsure. they have held each other before and the dance is a natural evolution of that kind familial touch.
