My skin is so crispy I wouldn't be surprised if I just shedded it like a snake at this point

[liltumgrum]

Ugh

I’m gonna bite the bullet and call about an appointment tomorrow. But with a wound care nurse not a dermatologist bc I gotta be petty some how.

May have just figured out why the lesions have been getting worse! I got the new bottle in early December.

TL;DR, sulfate-free cleansers tend to require more scrubbing for effective cleaning/rinsing. This isn't good for people with skin conditions that are aggravated by friction. Which is, practically-speaking, most people with skin conditions!

And since this cleanser is marketed towards people with "Itchy, Dry Skin" (major symptom of eczema), reviews since the formula change in November have been almost 100% negative. Most reviewers aren't sure why it's now irritating their skin, but they know that it is.

(Notably, in my case, hidradenitis suppurativa-affected hair follicles can easily become inflamed to the size of a thumbnail if the hair gets tugged on too hard. However, since HS also affects the skin's ability to fight off infection, failing to clean the area well enough is dangerous, too! Sulfate-free products are trying to kill me.)

God I wish my body were normal. I have two chronic lifelong conditions for which there is no cure: hypermobility and eczema. Hypermobility means my tendons in my joints are extra stretchy and my joints can overextend very easily leading to random dislocations, swelling, pain, and stiffness. Eczema means I get itchy, dry, painful rashes with welts all over my body that oozes, cracks, bleeds, swells, peels, and has a tendency to get infected very easily. And since both of those things are worsened by hormones, menstruation makes them worse.

Guess who started her period a week early.

Full body swelling and pain, yaaaaaaaay I'm so happy this is my life for the next week and that I can barely move. 🙃

Wanna see my gnarly-ass eczema-riddled arm? Don't say I didn't warn you if you click and regret it. It's not pretty.

Now imagine this on my entire body. Yes, even there. I am miserable right now.

And believe me, it's redder and looks worse in real life.

Here’s a quick rundown of the things in my brain that aren’t letting me sleep:

I haven’t posted a fic since 2021 and I want to write something to post this weekend but what? What fandom? What story?

I tried to crochet a baby blanket for my sister in law and it turned into a triangle and it’s still just about the nicest thing I’ve ever crocheted so I’m sending it to her anyway.

I have been suffering from eczema on my eyelids for fucking months and I sought advice from a woman in a cosmetics store (I have seen seven doctors and the eye doctor six times and consulted various pharmacists) and she took me to the skin care section and started recommending me eye creams that were all anti-aging and kept saying “I know you won’t need to care about that for years yet and your age but it’s still really good.” And first of all, it’s not good for eczema, so jot that down. It dries the skin out more. And second of all, it was my birthday a week ago and I turned 41, so… but I felt bad for bugging her so I bought some eyeshadow primer that she promised would help me. I don’t wear fucking eyeshadow but I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. But if anyone has advice on how to fix my eyes, I’d be so grateful.

I had a SURGERY on my HEAD the day before my birthday and it was so weird. And there are dissolvable stitches. Gross.

Listen, I think that’s all. Thank you for listening. Here is a birthday selfie of me and Tumbleweed, who tries his best to be the best boy.

Chronic eczema sucks ass. Especially when you have sensory issues. Especially especially when you compulsively pick at/scratch uneven or dry skin. It’s only recently I realised how much of a lingering effect it’s had on me, I’ve had this since I was maybe 8 years old, it’s my normal, and as it’s seen as such a trivial thing if it’s not intensely severe, you just don’t think about it. It’s just another thing to deal with.

this is who you're all sending anon hate to btw

Eczema can be really hard (I got better though)

[ellecdc]

Hellooo i joticed your requests are open and i was wondering if you could do a moonwater x fem!reader where reader has eczema since she was a kid and the boys would stop her from itching or picking on her hand and would remind her to use her hand cream whenever the eczema on her hands are dry :b

thanks for your request, sweets <3

poly!moonwater x fem!reader who is struggling with eczema [511 words]

CW: cracked/dried hands, brief mention of insecurity of eczema, fluff

“Amour, I swear to all that is holy, if you do not stop I will duct tape oven mitts to your hands.” Regulus threatened as he hastily stood from his seat on the couch in order to press a loving kiss to your knuckles (after prying them apart from one another) before stalking off further into the flat. 

“Don’t threaten her.” Remus chided after him before turning to look at you quickly. “Do you think it would help though?”

You let out a very petulant half-laugh, half-sob as you threw your head back into the sofa with a thud. 

You didn’t even have time to verbally respond before Remus was making a sympathetic tsking sound and rising from his own chair to kneel in front of you. 

“I’m sorry, dovey.” he cooed as he peppered kisses over your dry, torn knuckles that you’d been angrily clawing at. 

“I don’t want you to be sorry, I just want it to stop.” You bemoaned as you lifted your head to look at him, both loving and hating the sympathy that was simply oozing from his being. You hated him even touching your hands; they felt mangled and rough and nearly un-human, and certainly not at all deserving of his tenderness and affection.

“Here, love.” Regulus interrupted quietly as he returned to the living room with a bowl of ice water. “Let’s have a soak for a little, hm? I’ll get a damp, hot towel ready for after, and then we’ll moisturize.” 

“Then the oven mitts?” You pouted, offering him your best puppy-dog eyes and lip jut in spite of Remus’ warning tap to your thigh for being facetious. 

“If you insist on shredding your hands apart, then yes, amour.” Regulus responded in kind, though he pressed a conciliatory kiss to your forehead as he placed a fluffy blanket on your lap and then the bowl of cold water on top. 

You quickly placed your hands into the bowl without prompting which had your body nearly melting in immediate relief. 

The cold stung, sure, but your hands didn’t itch and burn when submerged which was a huge improvement. 

“Better?” Remus murmured from below you, prompting you to open your eyes which had fallen closed. 

“A bit.” You murmured back, earning you a half-smile from your boyfriend. 

“Take it easy on him, okay? He hates seeing you in pain and discomfort just as much as you hate being in pain and uncomfortable.” 

“I don’t mean to be combative, but-”

“You’re not.” He assured you quickly. “You’re uncomfortable and feel defensive when you feel like he’s scolding you, which he was; he needs to be patient with you, too.” 

You nodded in understanding as he rubbed circles into your thighs. “He takes good care of me.”

Remus smiled at that. “He takes good care of both of us.” 

And when Regulus returned with both a steaming towel and your moisturizer, he also brought a few of Remus’ pain meds and a glass of water for him. 

Yes, Regulus certainly did take good care of the two of you.

The Pumpkin (Spice) King

For the @steddie-spooktober day 24 prompt: Pumpkin Rated: T | Words: 945 | CW: None | Tags: established relationship, this is very silly, fluff Divider credit: @steddiecameraroll-graphics

The clues had been there all along. Eddie should have paid more attention.

It starts with the candle.

“Why does it smell like a craft store in here?” Eddie asks the moment the apartment door has closed behind him.

Steve, half engrossed in whatever he’s scrolling through on his phone, shoots Eddie a quick, puzzled look. “What?”

“Like cinnamon sugar and spices. Fake fall.” Eddie sniffs the room speculatively. “This is what craft stores smell like every year from September to January.”

“Oh.” Steve rolls his eyes. “It’s not ‘fake fall,’ it’s just the candle I have burning.”

Now that Steve’s mentioned it, Eddie spots the candle on the table, one of the ones you get in a fancy-looking glass jar, the label of which proclaims the scent to be–

“Pumpkin spice?” Eddie utters, nose wrinkled.

“You got a problem with pumpkin spice?” Steve asks.

“It’s–” Eddie starts, then takes in Steve’s single raised eyebrow, registers the catty lilt to his tone, and changes tracks, “–barely September.”

If anything, Steve’s eyebrows get more judgmental, but he looks back to his phone, apparently dismissing Eddie as a threat to his fun, fall-scented good time. “They start selling these things in August," he says. “You should appreciate my restraint.”

“Riiight,” Eddie drawls, deciding to adjourn to the bedroom and leave the living room to Steve and his mass-produced miasma of imitation autumn.

Of course, it doesn’t end there.

Eddie barely notices in time, reaching for the pump of the hand soap by the kitchen sink and stopping just short of using it when the colors register. It isn’t the usual bland bottle with its inoffensive citrus and herb scent, but something brightly-colored, all orange and shiny silver. There are little wheat sheaves and pumpkins on the label, and the scent is, of course–

“Fucking pumpkin spice,” Eddie mutters.

Fine, okay, so there must have been some kind of sale at fucking– Bath and Body Works, or wherever the hell it is that sells this stuff, and Steve had temporarily lost his mind. Or something. Whatever.

Steve can go around smelling like something that wishes it could be cinnamon all he likes, but Eddie will not be joining him. He uses the dish soap to wash his hands instead. His eczema will not thank him later, but he thinks it’s a fair price to pay for his continued dignity.

(And if Steve eyes Eddie’s reddened, peeling knuckles later in the week, and the lemon herb soap reappears next to the pumpkin spice soap, well – that’s close enough to a win that Eddie will take it.)

Then there’s the coffee.

This one is technically the final nail in the coffin, but it takes a bit to really dawn on Eddie. He maintains that he had been understandably distracted at the time – largely because he only finds this one out by drawing the taste straight from Steve’s mouth.

It isn’t unusual for Steve to have been up and about for an hour or two (or three) before Eddie rolls out of bed on his days off; Eddie prefers to keep late hours, and Steve, as much as Eddie loves him, is a morning person. This had caused some friction when they’d first started living together, but it’s been nearly a year now, and they’ve managed to work it out. Often, their first kiss of the day tastes like whatever coffee Steve’s already been drinking.

It’s different today, though. Sweeter than usual.

Eddie hums, licking deeper into Steve’s mouth, trying to place the difference, and Steve groans, tugging Eddie closer by the hips, mistaking his curiosity for passion (and, well – it’s not not passion. Eddie can multitask).

“What’ve you been drinking?” Eddie finally asks when they pull apart.

“Pumpkin spice latte,” Steve answers, and then gives Eddie absolutely no chance to process this information, pulling him back in for another deep kiss.

It’s only later, back in bed when Eddie had barely even been out of it for half an hour, that Eddie has to admit to himself: his boyfriend is a pumpkin spice girl.

And that’s fine! Eddie can be mature about this!

Sure, it’s the sort of thing he’d sneered at back in high school—the conformity of the masses flocking to whatever seasonally-scented item corporations are hocking at the time—but he’s grown up since then. Someone’s preference for a certain flavor or scent doesn’t determine their worth as a person, et cetera, et cetera. Eddie knows this.

But still, he’s only human. He does have a breaking point.

“Oh, baby, no.”

“What?” Steve pulls his head out of the fridge, where he’s been putting the cold stuff away as Eddie unloads the grocery bags destined for the pantry.

Eddie holds up the offending item – possibly the most offending item he’s ever seen.

Pumpkin spice candy corn.

Steve blinks at him. “What?” he asks again after a long moment of loaded silence.

“Oh god, it’s already infected your brain,” Eddie laments, dropping the bag of candy on the counter and reaching for his phone. “I’m calling Robin, we’re staging an intervention.”

“Oh come on, what? They’re good!” Steve insists.

“Objectively, sweetheart, they really aren’t. But don’t you worry,” he leans over and pats Steve on the arm as he searches for Robin’s number in his contact list, “we’re gonna save you from yourself.”

(Later, of course, he’ll find out that Robin has already tried to break Steve of his tendency to buy anything labeled with “pumpkin spice.” His love of the stuff is ironclad. She tells Eddie that he’d better learn to enjoy the taste, or else give up making out with his boyfriend until Thanksgiving.)
