Ok so Im away for two weeks and Im postung this to keep a log cause I dont want it in my pics. So Im freaking out cause Im stuck here for another week but Im getting bad side effects (i think the traveling and stress makes it worse though). So my skin is feeling drier specifically above my lips and my lips are starting to feel dry as well but above them any time I even use moisturizer it stings. Thats nothing though...whats awful is Ive had the worst flare up of dihydrotic eczema maybe ever on my hands and feet and a random rash going all up my arm!??! In person the rash is not too noticeable depends on the light but my hands look awful Im trying to cover some with plasters but theres too much! At least I can hide when I get back but who knows what will happen in the next week Im here?? I cant have it get worse this is really bad Im just praying that the eczema wont be as bad after the medication is done because I went quite a while where it was not too bad or there was absolutely nothing there. I cant remember the last time it as this bad Im freaking out which probably exacerbates it further AGH
I have eczema before i even started accutane and moisturizer every time i take a shower keeps the flares down. I am about to start my 4th month and i have had only 1 or 2 MINOR flares of eczema on my arms.
i use Aveeno Daily moisturizing lotion, which is about 8-10 bucks at any store
@Ludadubz Great thank you! I have Aveeno back home but Im in Europe so I stupidly slacked on moisturizing (aka didnt do it at all. I realize now how stupid that was) I think Ill buy some Aveeno from the pharmacy and try aquaphor at night, hopefully that will help cause its gotten worse since I took those pictures. Sorry it looks horrible but I thought I should keep pictures to show my dermatologist when I see her and I dont want these photos in the photo app on my phone lol Im hoping it will get better because Im miserable right now.
