You're kidding it's freezing out! Are you in Melbourne?
I love summer! The season definitely helps with my mood, couple that with Christmas and it's bliss.
Plus, my eczema is terrible during the winter. I probably came off my worst year of eczema lately, it is horrible and I really feel for you Dave, it's just s**t.
Here are a few tips that I use with my eczema
- I apply a special eczema moisturiser cream for the worst eczema spots on my body, mainly my face and back, every morning after I wash my face, and after every shower. Basically apply it whenever you wash your face, as the water washes off the natural oil of your skin and it becomes very dry. I recommend MooGoo for this.
- I apply just normal Sorbolene or any moisturiser after a shower all over my body.
- When I shower, I have it warm/cold to cold. It can be very very tempting to use hot water, since it is one of the best feelings ever especially with itchy skin, but it is actually very bad if you have dry skin.
- Don't use heaters! It dries your skin out. I'm not sure if this applies to air conditioning though.
- Notice the signs of your flaring of eczema. Mine always starts off as a little itch, but will eventually get really bad and I'll leave marks on my face from scratching if I don't attend to it.
- If I notice a bit of a flare up happening, I first take hayfever medication for it. Wash my face with cold water and apply MooGoo.
- If it is still bad, or I have something important coming up and can't afford to have scratches on my face, I've been prescribed Prednisolone which is a bit of a wonder drug in terms of itching, in that it will relieve all itching. However, if you take it too often, it will eventually stop working after under a week, which is why I am very weary of not taking it too much, since I want it to work as best as possible when I do urgently need it.
- I also use Mometasone, which is a prescribed eczema cream, and is very strong. It's good to apply to itchy spots but I try not to use it as much as I can, because it can be bad for you if you constantly apply it. I also find it helps with the red spots on your face with itching/rubbing.
I do have hot showers as it does feel very good but I normally put Celestone on the Itchy Skin to stop it.
I get it everywhere but worse seems to be Back and Legs. I can itch it so much on the Legs that at Times I have made it Bleed.
I have it all year round my dad had/has Ceris and That where I get it from
Stop having hot showers! Trust me, I know how good it feels but it is much better to have less itching than a hot shower.
Yay, Christmas! I'll never be too old to get excited before Christmas, even though it's been about 15 years since I last believed in Santa.I love summer! The season definitely helps with my mood, couple that with Christmas and it's bliss.
Find it hard to handle cool summers like this one. I feel like I have been cheated out of an entitlement. Apart from the football, I loathe winter.
How's TD holding up?
Ps. I'm loving it!
You and Dave should move to Iceland or Alaska.I'm with you Dave.
Anyone with Hayfever / eczema will now how horrible Spring can be, especially when the breeze comes from any direction not from the South.
And summer just brings stupid hot weather which is just uncomfortable. Much easier to layer up to stay warm than strip off and still be hot.

I tell myself everyday that I will move north. I have lived in the tropics before and I will do again.Do you live in the tropics given your disdain for winter?

The one thing I like, and it's a big one thing, is the footy. The footy is everything to me in winter.I go to Noosa only in the Winter when it's a very nice temperature.
Well if he moves north then he can't get to Collingwood Games
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:God I hate Spring. I get super bad Eczema(Very Itchy) and never really stops. I get Sore Muscles at Times. I feel very uncomfortable hot.
Just Hate It
You right springtime triggers these allergies like eczema and hay fever. I use air filter to filter dusts and pollen during this timeI'm with you Dave.
