Hey (:, so ive had eczema all my life, since I was born.. lol im scratching right now -.\ well I live in Chicago and the weather changes drastically, and I have eczema on my scalp,arms, back, neck, and a little on my face I also have food and airborne allergies that make my eczema worse and causes me to have an allergic reaction,and im 14 and I deal with it pretty good,and im good with controlling it, so you should message me back and tell me how you deal with yours I would love to know (:
There’s been plenty of ups and downs with me and my eczema.
Changes in weather suck, and so do allergies.
I try to prevent myself from scratching as much as i can. This includes turning my fan on in my room to soothe my skin overnight, focusing on another area to scratch (probably not the best way) and challenging myself to sit without touching the area until the itch passes.
When i do start to itch, i make sure my nails are cut short and that i wear loose fitting cotton clothing and try to eat healthy.
Keeping active and moisturising as much as possible are also strategies i try to avoid breakouts from eczema.
So thats basically my main points of dealing with it right now :)
