Eczema, I think

[erinmck32]

Hi Everyone,

Anyone having any skin issues? I've had a small, only slightly itchy rash that comes and goes on the inside of my right elbow since January. I have sensitive skin, but I've never had eczema. I think that's what this rash is. Anyone have it?

Hope everyone's well!

Erin

i havent seen any rashes of sort but is anyone elses skin just bone dry? i feel like no matter how much lotion i put on, i am still all ashy...especially my arms...maybe i need a better lotion?

another thing, anyone have extremely oily hair?

Thanks for your responses! Always a relief to know you're not alone! I think I'm going to make a dermatologist appt. anyway, because I used some non-comedogenic lotion and some Aquaphor on it, and it seemed to make it much worse. My dermatologist always tells me to just LEAVE my skin alone since it's so sensitive. We'll see. Hope you're both doing well otherwise! Juana, I've also had red splotchiness on my cheeks. Annoying! Ha.

It's funny you are asking this. I am getting fine red bumps on my face around my cheeckbones! UGGHH!  I was watching a show on the discovery health channel called "pregnancy for Dummies" like the book series and they said this is something normal that happens during pregnancy that should disappear once the pregnancy is complete. Try using Aveeda or some hydrocortisone for relief!

Feel better!
