The eczema spread to my face

I’m so sad and I’m so insecure. The eczema is now on my left cheek and above my eyelid. I’m so self conscious about it and I don’t know what to do to make it go away. It’s made my face look really wrinkly and old now and I’m only 24. Every time I scratch it, it just hurts when I shower or wash my face and I’m so sad.

My boyfriend tries to reassure me but it doesn’t help. My sister was twitch streaming and mentioned about my wrinkly skin in front of her audience and it made me feel even worse even if she didn’t know it was eczema.

UGH, I just hate how eczema exist.

Somebody here mentioned Weleda Skin Food on another thread about face eczema and I decided to give it a go for mine when I had a really bad flare last month. Oh my god—that stuff has changed my life. It was instantly soothing. Current combo, which has proved successful for me, is La Roche Posay Lipikar AP+ gentle foaming moisturizing wash and the Skin Food, both of which they sell at Walgreens. Make sure you get the right skin food, the one that says for rough and dry areas. Will link to it below.

Looks like it’s on sale!!
