Eyes wide like cherry pies

Okay I need opinions/help. I want to get a tattoo of a sunflower, for my Grandad. Now because I have eczema I’m limited as to where I can have it done on my body (there are parts where the skin is too sore and cracked) so I need someone to help me decide where would be the best:

• on my left foot
• around the back of the shoulder
• on the inside of my arm
• on the side of my abdomen (like the ribcage but the side of my body idk)

and those are about the only places that are clear. The tattoo would be life like size or a bit smaller as sunflowers can be quite big sometimes. My arms and legs are pretty much covered in eczema which is annoying when deciding the placement. Help!

is it good for eczema?!

It is! This is my second time using it but I’ve found it clears all dead skin and leaves my face and neck really hydrated and soft, and those are the most eczema prone areas for me. You should try it, it’s so easy! All you do is mix up three table spoons of flour (or oats, I crush up oats for mine because they’re better for dry skin), a tea spoon of turmeric, 3 tablespoons of milk and a couple of drops of honey. Put a thin layer on the face and neck area, leave it to dry for 20 minutes and rinse off :) It’ll be the itchiest 20 minutes of your life but worth it!

I have on the turmeric face mask I’ve been making recently and holy fuck it is itchy. Just a few more minutes and then I’ll be able to escape this suffering.

Got the face mask on right now and OH MY GOD it itches so much.. I haven’t scratched once yet.. lets hope I can keep it up.

7 minutes left!

Fuck it, if it’s nice when I wake up tomorrow I’m going out in a tshirt and shorts (most probably with tights) and no jacket, yes I have eczema but I need to stop caring what other people might think when they see it, although it’s pretty common in England.

Taking my makeup off and putting cream on is the gift I give my face every day and I regularly moisturise during the day too.. so why does my skin get worse and worse omfg

My face always kills like a bastard when I put cream on it.

Where is my letter from the dermatologist ffs

So I went to the doctors and he referred me to the dermatologist, and he’s also told me to get blood tests done which I will go and get done on Monday. I’m really freaking out though as I’ve never had one before and I keep on thinking about how painful it’s going to be. Adam says it barely hurts at all but still I’m scared :(

To anyone with eczema:

do you know a quick way to reduce redness? My face is 99% red right now because of my shitty eczema and no matter how much cream I put on it, it just burns and flakes up more.. help :(

Fucking eczema all over my face again. I officially give up with any medication, doctors clearly can’t help me any more.

IT FUCKING BURNS ARGH

Today is good. I was actually able to shave my legs for the first time in months, thank god for prescription drugs.

So my eczema has improved loads, I’ve been taking these antibiotics and steroids since last Friday and I can see a bit improvement already.

My chest and stomach is completely clear and soft, yeah, soft. I never thought I’d have soft skin again! My back has almost cleared up, as has my neck and face. All that’s left now are my arms that have a few sore patches, and my legs. I wasn’t expecting an instant improvement on my legs as they were the worst but I’m hoping it’ll be gone by the time I finish these pills.

If you have eczema and you want to try out these pills (they have to be prescribed but when I went to the doctors I just told him what to give me so you may be able to do the same) they are Flucloxacillin (antibiotics) and Prednisolone (steroids). I’m not one to enjoy taking pills, and when I take these they make me feel sick but it’s worth it if your eczema is really bad and you want it to go away.

All in all I’m happy, it’s nice not to be in pain!

Hate taking these pills, I have to eat around them, like now for example, I’m hungry as a motherfucker but I have to wait an hour to eat anything.

If this doesn’t help my eczema I’m suing that bastard rude doctor.

It is fucking freezing and my skin is burning up, I cannot handle this any longer.

My eczema has spread fucking everywhere and it’s raw, I’m going to have to go to the doctors at some point this week and get some antibiotics, 11 pills a day, joy.
