#tw: eczema

[thetisming]

anyway to all my fellow people with eczema and vaginas. if your eczema is right next to said vagina, be VERY CAFEFUL applying the eczema cream, and use cream that absorbs quickly.

this has been a PSA from someone who just put his eczema cream on and now i am. in pain

You know it's a bad skin day when you have to tape your fingers up like an American without health insurance.

So sorry for disappearing off the map for a few weeks. I have a yearly black out period where my hands become borderline useless due to allergies and I can't art!! I also happen forget about this every fucking year until it's upon me.

Anyways lots to catch up on, including last bit of giveaway art for the patient saints waiting on it. (Next giveaway will be in fall or winter to 100% avoid this issue cause I'm a dumb ass)

Excited to wrap up giveaway art, draw some smutty exchange art, finish the six characters meme, and squeeze in at least one piece of queer art for Pride month, maybe Jack & Star again?? Or Xochi, Hancock & MacCready or Lana & Esskelle or Ariadne & Karlach or one of my millions of other queer couples lmao

Just excited to have hands again!

Based on a true story: Whumpee with eczema.

Whumper keeps them in a warm, dry room, tailored to aggravate their condition

Their hands aren’t tied. So Whumpee will scratch, and scratch, and scratch until they physically can’t due to the pain

Whumpee is barely able to sleep. All they can do is writhe in their cell and cry from the pain and exhaustion

When they’re rescued, Caretaker takes extra care to bathe them in cool/lukewarm water to help soothe their condition. Whumpee nearly cries at the relief the water brings immediately

Whumpee sleeps with ice packs during their recovery. Either secured to their “bad” spots or just by the bedside, just in case

Whumpee having to slowly become more comfortable with wearing clothes that show their skin again

Caretaker buying the best topical medications available, not wanting Whumpee to be in any more pain than they have to be

Flare ups are even harder for Whumpee now, they only remember their time with Whumper

had a nosebleed that lasted 40 minutes recently. i'm not new to nosebleeds but i think a stream like a faucet that soaks through the tissues in less than 20 seconds might be a new one. it started up again less than a day later. anyway the lower half of my face is peeling off and i look like a lobster and i'm developing joker lips and my eyes are bloodshot and my neck hurts and my eczema has crawled to my elbow my ears are flaking right now and a healed piercing started bleeding and i literally cannot keep up with all the side effects

shout out to accutane, which i think is like chemo-lite in terms of absolutely wrecking your body on purpose. evil pills. on the bright side my scalp does not produce oil and i haven't needed to use shampoo in a week

[thelasttime]

got my first shot of dupixent I hope this works for meeee 😭

[angelicutz]

I'll always be seen as the person i used to be, never the person i am right now. All my anger and all the issues ive caused, i am aware it made me a terrible person. But why? Why does the past follow me? Why wont people stop mentioning it? I am not the same as i used to be, i changed. I am way better now. People will only see me as my anger and lack of self control in the past, nothing else. No matter how much i cut myself for who i am, people will only see the past in me.

big tw, pretty gross, to do with eyes and kinda bodyhorror ig, don't read more if you get grossed out by eyes or bodyhorror or similar stuff

[piplupod]

praying and hoping and begging for things to get better or at least more tolerable soon because i dont know how many more physical symptoms of stress my body can take

It's Officially Been A Whole Year Since I Last Hurt Myself. Yay!🎉

I would scratch at my eczema patches until they bled as a way to snap myself out of a negative spiral that results after an argument, nuerotypical v nuerodiverse clash where I am always in the wrong and the screw up and the one who did wrong again and I really should know better by now since that's what my mom kept saying and these fights/disagreements/me just plain being wrong in general about how I process stuff were with her.

It started as a stop getting upset over this stupid thing you dumb fuck, and turned into more of a sorta self punishment for fucking up yet again, cause my patches were on my wrist so it would sting a couple days after.

Last time I did it was really bad, like, super bloody, my dad saw and didn't make a big deal out of it. He's relaxed like that and keeps secrets for me.

Cause of that there's a tiny little mark where I scratched that no one sees but me cause I know whete this is

But I haven't done it since, so yay!

And no, I've not been able to tell my mom about this cause she'll get all you're blaming me and guilt tripping me(which she thought what me crying all the time during fights were cause she doesn't understand rejection sensitivity disphoria) and pull some religious bull shit I don't need when I tell you the way you act and wrre raised and the harmful beliefs you hold hurt me and make me want to punish myself but that's a whoke nother can of worms that I've gotten into with friends already.

I'm pretty sure that's like, religous trauma, one of my friends says yeah it is, and I should probably go to therapy or something but I've got no money(I don't have a job) so I just bottle it up and try not to explode when something pokes the pressurized bomb that is me🙃. Which is why I'm shouting this out into the void of the internet, gets it off my chest.

Anyway, I'm getting an autism diagnosis this Wednesday, so I'll probably have to tell the doctor some of this.

But yay for no self harming for a year!

IDK why but my dyshidrotic eczema has been nuts lately. I didn't bring my eczema lotion and I never got a script for eczema treatment 💀

Pic under cut if you're curious what dyshidrotic eczema aka pompholox can look like. Be warned there's a little bit of blood and open sores and pus.

This is after the bubbles were opened by excessive itching.

[can-of-pringles]

Why be on hrt when you just naturally experience the negative effects /s

[feyisntdead]

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

[angrysheeptime]

Yea uh trigger warning talking about meds

So I made a stupid decision, there these meds that didn't work cuz they gave me mild serotonin syndrome. while taking the meds I couldn't stop thinking that I'd take the pain over it any day, but now I'm off them all I can think about is that it didn't hurt.

Now I've got fibromyalgia, endomitosis and having a period for the first time in over a year, eczema flared ups all over my body that make it impossible to sleep and yea I caved and took one cuz I hadn't gotten rid of them yet. Best case scenario: I get cores done tomorrow, worst case: time will stop existing and I will cry

Wish me luck I guess lol
