Disclaimer: I am in no way a physician or expert. I am a fire-engineer. But I have lived with eczema for 44 years, and this is only based on my experience. It may not work for you, and you should always contact professionals when it comes to health issues.

Atopic Eczema

I am one of the lucky 2% that gets Atopic Eczema as a kid and keeps the condition all life long.

I am much better as an adult then what I was as a kid. As a kid, I had open wounds in my neck and face constantly. Family and friends cried when they saw me when I was at my worst.

I always smiled though.

Eczema is a part of me, has always been, and will always be, and that’s OK. I don’t think about it. It sometimes annoys me, and it’s extremely inconvenient in theses Corona times when I have to wash my hands constantly.
