I have created an eczema blog to help raise awareness of products and solutions that are suitable, or in some cases unsuitable, for people like myself who suffer from eczema. My main blog is http://erasingeczema.wordpress.com/, however I wanted to raise awareness of how to control eczema for as many people as possible, so I thought I'd expand by using Blogger too!
My eczema began when I started studying for my A-levels. Four years later, I am still trying to fight the urge to itch my red and dry skin. I have also developed allergies, such as hayfever, cat and pet hair, jewellery and certain makeup and skincare brands. I had never had these when I was a child, however eczema and these allergies run in my family. Through my experiences, I have concluded that the three main factors influencing eczema are:
- Allergies
- Stress
- Genetics
Unlike some chronic eczema sufferers, my eczema appears in patches in certain areas. My eyelids, crease of my arm, neck, and hands are areas that are particularly affected. However, there have been other times where my eczema has ‘moved’ to other parts of my body. I was inspired by the ‘eczema blogging community’ such as http://i-have-eczema.blogspot.co.uk/, and I wanted to share my own experiences as a way to help other people control and maintain their eczema.
As a writer and avid reader, I would love to hear other people’s experiences and routines with eczema, so please do not hesitate to share your story with me, and as a community we can help raise awareness of how to manage this skin condition.
I will regularly post my trials and reviews of makeup products, allergy relief medicine, jewellery, and skin care solutions, so we can all be one step closer to achieving smooth silky skin!
