Don't take this badly but the wrinkles under your eyes are really cute

Thanks the ones directly under my eyes aren't wrinkles tho they are Dennie-morgan lines and I have had them since I was a kid.

#i used to hate them because it was yet another thing my family jokes about my appearance but i actually like them now they are just part of #my face. they are common in ppl with eczema (which i have) and hay fever (which i dont have thankfully)#they have always given me a permanently haggard quality i think pairs well with my dark circles which i also have had since a young age lol #-Lue asks #anyways here have some random knowledge about what causes those i guess lol #ty ty for the compliment tho

I am tired of this sudden eczema breakout!

#it's been a few years since I've had an eczema mustache and I've forgotten how to deal with this itchy wet/dry feeling #also I've definitely not missed having eczema right in the middle of my face #it's pissing me off that i don't know what caused it though #is it the weather? food? something blooming? lack of sleep??

Hhhhhh I'm still not done the stupid drawing but I am starting to break out into eczema all over me in places I've never fuckin has eczema before and my body is telling me it's because I need to lay down. Which makes literally less than zero sense to me but I'm gonna lay down for 15 minutes and see if it stops

Edit: my body hates me why does laying down make the eczema stop. Literally what the actual fuck. I need to be put in a fucking test tube and studied like a little rat or some shit atp

#if my body somehow gets eczema when I need to rest I'm going to lose it I think #like. how does that make sense. how would it work. what would cause that. I am so confused #but also. if that's Not the case. why am I suddenly getting eczema on my upper thighs and chest and biceps out of nowhere #am I having an allergic reaction to something. if so what is it. if not. what the fuck else could it be #armchair speaks

took me three hours to get out of bed cause stress nightmares and then immediately upon sitting down at my desk sneezed wrong and pulled my back/hip

I was just laying on the floor for like two hours today sucked

Also side note every doctor that asks you what level of pain you have and doesn’t explain the pain scale should be flayed

#personal #bleeehhhhh #luckily I have good meds and like a mom who will help me with massage and getting me food #but like holy fuck does this highlight what we’ve been talking about #where I need like. proper care team specialists I can call on when my shit flares #cause you can’t always drive out somewhere sometimes the help need to come to you #and the e emergency care here Double Sucks #anyway I think I just needed to rant more today has been so fucking stressful #should be getting mental health care soon too #someone to have hour long appointments with and actually be able to tell All that’s just so fukt with my body #like even with just scoliosis and eczema summer sucks #let alone just. The Everything Else

Vaccine PSA

Since Monkeypox is spreading, I just want to inform people that smallpox vaccines are potentially very dangerous for people who have eczema / atopic dermatitis. A lot of people don’t know this, but exposure to the traditional smallpox vaccine even if it’s skin to skin contact with someone who has recently been vaccinated can cause eczema vaccinatum in people with a history of eczema. It basically causes a systemic reaction that could kill us without proper and immediate treatment. This hasn’t been a huge issue because we haven’t had to universally vaccinate for smallpox in a long time. However, one of the two monkeypox vaccines has the same problem according to the CDC. Yes, there is a safe vaccine available for people with eczema / atopic dermatitis called JYNNEOS, but the ACAM2000 monkeypox vaccine is not considered safe for us and you should probably avoid skin to skin contact with anyone who receives this vaccine. That also means you should not share clothes or other items with someone who received this vaccine until at least 30 days after their last dose. I’m not a doctor, but I do have atopic dermatitis. I generally don’t want to discourage people from getting vaccinated but a lot of people like me simply don’t know we’re not physically able to be vaccinated for this the same way as people who don’t have a skin condition. Please talk to your doctors first to figure out what you can do to stay safe at this time.

Edit:

Just to clarify, ACAM2000 is not actively in use outside of people in the military and researchers. It's in consideration for usage. It is a live virus that can spread past the vaccination site. JYNNEOS is not a live virus and it is safe for most people and you may have an equivalent vaccine available in your country if you live outside the US, though some people are allergic to the ingredients. That's why you should talk to your doctors first to figure out what you can do to stay safe. I've already reblogged this post with links from the CDC, but here's another in case you missed it:

Please read it carefully.

Eczema vaccinatum and other complications are rare, but not impossible and most people with a history of eczema do not know about them. I am not against vaccination, but people should know that the risks are not zero with certain vaccines. If you do develop these complications, treatment is available and necessary.

The directions are still the same, regardless if you are vaccinated. Mask and clean surfaces for monkeypox. Do not share items with an infected person. If you think that you've been exposed to monkeypox, most people can safely vaccinate to prevent a bad case, so contact your doctor immediately.

My intention is not to fearmonger people into thinking they're at immediate risk of death if they have been vaccinated or exposed. It is only to mention risks that are already included by the CDC and other eczema organizations, but may not be well known, in light of the US considering using ACAM2000.

Love having a mysterious skin thing going on that the drs are conflicted on so one arm gets one set of creams and the other arm gets a different cream <3

#ok no fr this is funny as fuck #my mother and one doctor thinks its eczema #(which is probably right #I had it when I was little a lot and got a new other med that increases salt which. guess what I'm allergic to!)#and the other doctor?#thinks its ringworm #which is probably wrong cause it doesn't look right and has been here for over a month and not spread father than the two spots #or to anyone else #and only one spot is circle #but this is so fucking funny I'm a science experiment

To Get Relief You Need To Understand the Causes Of Eczema

Most sufferers of eczema use a life time of looking for relief with little to no achievement. This is for the reason that they unintentionally direct their efforts towards reliving the symptoms rather than eliminating the causes of eczema. Not that there is anything wide of the mark with relieving the symptoms. The itching and burning tenderness can mess up your day and steps to alleviate these needs to be taken. On the other hand, it needs to be recognized that although these symptoms can be kept to a bare minimum with creams and moisturizers, just having dried out skin is most likely not the cause and any respite will be momentary.

Symptoms of eczema

An approach that will bring control for the long-standing is to not only alleviate the symptoms of eczema but also take steps to do away with the causes or triggers. This will take a little more endeavor but is well worth it in the extensive run. The thing is one and all are different, so there is no one single examination or approach that will give you answers fast. It becomes a work out in trial and error, a process of eradication and knowing what is the cause of eczema?

There are a number of types of eczema. The most frequent is referred to as "atopic dermatitis". There is also sensitive contact dermatitis and nummular eczema to name the major ones. This represents nearly all cases and you will notice which you might be suffering from as we go on.

What is the cause of eczema

Internal causes turn around the individuals’ immune system. In this state, the happening or the condition manifesting itself on top of your skin is caused by an overactive reaction of the body's immune system to different forms of anxiety or contaminates. Bacterium that by and large live on your skin or minor irritation factors in the surroundings is interpreted next to your immune system to be more serious than it in fact is and your body in point of fact starts attacking itself, in this case your skin. This is akin to individuals who suffer from lupus only not a severe.

An eczema flare up can also be triggered by mental and arousing triggers revolving around nervous tension. Anxieties flourish these days and pressures at work, school or even in the dwelling can be the prompt to an eczema flare. These types of flares are very difficult o control once upon a time started, accordingly preventing the stress or at any rate minimizing them on the front side is the most excellent approach.

External causes are a little easier to manage just the once identified but can be harder to sort all the way through at first for the reason that of so many possibilities. One frequent issue is the changing environment as far as warmth and moisture. Hot or Cold climates changes that are dried up, (with low dampness) can dry out areas on top of your skin causing eczema. Also your immune system can exaggerate to these changes prompting a flare. Believe it or not this happens more in the wintry weather in areas of very cold typical weather.

Do you have any moisturization tips? :0

Oh DO I!

Listen, skin has two jobs: keeping you in, and everything else out. Skin has to do a lot of complicated stuff to make that happen. Skin is chock full of glands and pores and whatnot. There's dermis (deeper layer) and epidermis (shallower layer), and 99% of what we're doing from the outside is about the epidermis.

Epidermis grows in as layers--there's a bottom layer that has cells that will just keep dividing forever, and then the cells that divide off that layer will start getting pushed up towards the surface of your skin. As they get pushed up, the cells get flatter and more keratinized and eventually dead.

That "stratum basal" is where you have your forever-dividing cells. So when you start something like Accutane, you can't transform the skin layers above it--you can only start affecting the skin as it marches upward towards its death and flaking off, so you have to give it months to take full effect. And we NEED to have some dead skin. It protects us.

Skin cells have proteins that hold them to each other. The goal is to form a watertight barrier. We need to keep water in because we are basically bags of water. Different protein issues (largely genetic) can cause different skin diseases.

Our skin also has glands that make protective oils (forming a powerful anti-bacterial barrier and trapping moisture inside) and sweat (because we DO want to be able to get rid of water, but only when WE want to).

So here's the thing about commercial moisturizers: none of them can put moisture back in your skin. That's just not a thing. The very best thing they can do is keep further water from leaving your skin. This is especially important if you have eczema, where you stand a good chance (about 50%) of lacking ceramides, which are critical to forming the natural skin barrier. As water evaporates off the skin, it takes more water with it. We don't understand the other half of eczema. Psoriasis involves dysfunction of the keratinization process, which is why those plaques form.

So the best moisturizers are those that create a moisture barrier without evaporating more water off. Any moisturizer where alcohol is a significant ingredient is worthless. Vaseline, or straight white petrolatum, is the best moisturizer. It feels greasy because it is. Its job is to form a watertight barrier, and greasy chemical are a lot better at that than thinner, waterlike chemicals. Moisturizers with silicones, like Aveeno (dimethicone is the active ingredient--I know, the bottle says oatmeal, it's a liar), will provide a fairly robust barrier without as greasy of a feeling. Lanolin, from sheep's wool, is also a great ingredient for forming a barrier, which is why I like Neutrogena Norwegian Formulation. Natural oils like jojoba (the best of the bunch) can be moisturizing, but just FYI, they're a tiny fraction as effective as white petrolatum. Like, less than 10%. I'm too lazy to get up and find my Cosmeceuticals textbook to remind myself exactly how much. So if you want "all natural," resign yourself to worse.

BUT!!!! Your skin is not all the same! You have scalp skin, face skin, neck skin, trunk skin, arm skin, leg skin, skin around your genitals, skin of the palms, and skin of soles of the feet. And all of those can act different. So I can't say "apply Vaseline everywhere" because that might be too much skin barrier for your face--what if your face has oil glands that work perfectly well? What if we need a lighter, less occlusive moisturizer? That's where my personal hell was for the last ten years as I struggled to find a facial moisturizer I like! What if you have oil glands that are overproductive? You may need a totally different moisturizer than I need! No good way to figure it out except trial and error while paying close attention to ingredient lists.

Sunblock is also a good thing to have but as someone who doesn't wear it because a) I don't go outside and b) it always breaks me out, I feel hypocritical talking extensively about it. I wear "dad hats" (at least a 2" brim all the way around) and long sleeves while gardening. You should definitely still wear sunscreen, though. Do as I say, not as I do.

#the attending dr. kristophine #but GO AHEAD AND LECTURE ME ON DANDRUFF AND EAR CARE AND WASHING ONE'S VAGINA because SURELY I KNOW NOTHING right Internet #none of those idiots who jump on my other posts to well actually me know what the fuck they're talking about
