Ok so I™m away for two weeks and I™m postung this to keep a log cause I don™t want it in my pics. So I™m freaking out cause I™m stuck here for another week but I™m 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. That™s nothing though...what™s awful is I™ve 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 I™m trying to cover some with plasters but there™s too much! At least I can hide when I get back but who knows what will happen in the next week I™m here?? I can™t have it get worse this is really bad I™m just praying that the eczema won™t 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 can™t remember the last time it as this bad I™m 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 I™m in Europe so I stupidly slacked on moisturizing (aka didn™t do it at all. I realize now how stupid that was) I think I™ll buy some Aveeno from the pharmacy and try aquaphor at night, hopefully that will help cause it™s 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 don™t want these photos in the photo app on my phone lol I™m hoping it will get better because I™m miserable right now.
