My skin wants sun. The weather makes me eat more junk food. Hmmm. Eczema is creeping back onto the skin. Despite the regular moisturising, patches of skin appear as dried out. Sometimes I think I might have some other skin disorder whereby too much skin is being produced and hence the itchy dried out excess skin.
Under the eyes have decided to join in this year, so am bathing with regular table salt. This does seem to have a positive effect in acting as a exfoliation agent and reducing the amount of itching. So much so that I think my past usage of sea salt might have been a little bit of a placebo effect. It was expensive salt - so it had to work!!!
Perhaps I need to boost my vit D and do a couple of sunbed sessions or perhaps I need to do more observations.
All the writings are my own thoughts from observations I have made as I have suffered eczema for 20-30 years with it infesting 90% of my body. If you are reading my blog, you need to do detective work for yourself to identify the factors that worsen the condition. Some factors are not immediately obvious, but once you have identified them, you can then start enjoying less itchy days. Do read my observations about the different factors that can cause us to itch in Dec 2008.
