I really feel for him, I have eczema on my face (cheeks, around my lips, and eyes), my arms, my neck, and behind my knees. Although my condition is not as severe as his, I can sympathize greatly. If my current state bothers me as much as it is, I can only imagine how he feels. I really hope that he finds something that works for him in the long run, so he can be happy and healthy!

I had skin problems my entire life. Eczema, acne, psoriasis. as well as constant migraines. It wasn't until I was 23 and went to Army basic training that I made the connection between diet and my skin. I grew up preferring sugary and fried foods. When in basic, we were fed a very bland diet and weren't allowed sodas or desserts. Within several days, I didn't have a single migraine and my skin cleared up completely, even while dirty and sweating all day.

I like how the whole group gasps at his blood sugar numbers, yet most of them probably do not know what they mean or what their own blood sugar is. lol

I have eczema and it feels so good to itch it but after wards when it’s stinging it doesn’t feel good

[byeekels]

Anyone that has eczema I hope your skin clears up soon 💞I’m dealing with eczema on my ear right now and my inner arms.

[cotlynnk]

I have terrible eczema and for me when it itches I can’t stop because it feels so good

I've had severe eczema, for 18 years. still have it but it's finally manageable. I'm 25 now and finally live a normal life.

The way she talks, if she told me I was diagnosed with cancer I would be like great! Wonderful news!

[finntran]

[chuckphone]

Having excema is too damn expensive it sucks

[beaustoel]

that man looks like such a gentle giant!

[druvjuice]

eczema outbreaks are like circles

it starts of with a tiny itch, maybe because you forgot to apply lotion after showering, then it turns into full blown eczema, to the point your entire body is in flame, then you apply lotion old skin flaking away might happen and everything goes back to normal.

I had eczema all over my body but Idk what happened but when i was around 10/11 My eczema just went away. I only have some minor in the cracks of my arms and behind my knees. Its really strange considering my eczema was extremely severe and I was hospitalized 2 times for 1 week each because of the severity. just know that eczema eventually goes away or calms down a bit. Edit: wow i forgot this comment existed but it seriously touches me how so many people went trough the same tings i went trough❤️

I've had extreme Excema since I was 4 and I'm now 13, it's incredibly hard to deal with and causes my pain everyday, not just physically but mentally as well and I relate so much to what this man is going through, I hope he gets the help he needs and lives a happy life, all my love and prayers go to him 💙

[Jumping-cholla]

I hate my eczema. I was so embarrassed when my old boss used to make me cover it up because I looked “contagious” and she didn’t want others feeling uncomfortable.

[VampyreBarbie]

Aww, poor guy. He's a handsome guy too. I hope his health and skin are in check now.

[moniquepulley]

[poeticstud]

[Niteyliney]

I have eczema all over my body, I was born with it now my eczema had been going down but there are some times that it becomes so bad especially when the seasons change drastically but I'm so thankful that it's not so bad like him alhamdoulilah🙏🏼 I'll pray for him that he'll be better
