Well, I’ve had a week or so off over christmas, which has been lovely, but I’m suffering. Time off really doesn’t seem to agree with me!
I’ve told you before of the two dry patches on either side of my tummy – which are annoying, and have been there years now. Sometimes they’re better, sometimes they’re [...]

Sore again
Haven’t posted for quite a while – things have been busy, but my dry patches haven’t been too bad, really.
But today I’m sore again, and I think its a combination of stress, heat and uncomfortable clothing.
Unfortunately my local chemist isn’t stocking Elave shower gel at the moment, so I’m going to have to order online [...]

Dermasalve Trial
In my last post I told you that a company had asked me to try a product and let you know what I thought of it. I have been using a sample of Dermasalve Body Cream (see here for more information on it), for three of four weeks now, and I have to say I [...]

Sampling!
Here at Dry Patches, I’ve been asked to trial some samples of a range of skin-products from a company which sells them, and obviously values word-of-mouth advertising. I’ve said yes – all I have to do is try out the products for a while and then write about them here. I’ll keep you posted!

Aggghhhhh…. I can resist no more.

Allergy – to tapes
I’ve just been in hospital to have surgery on my ankle, and when I got there the nursing staff asked me if I was allergic to anything. Oh, yes I said. I’m allergic to lots of things – nothing that will kill me, fortunately, but plently that will make my life uncomfortable.
Fortunately I’m not allergic [...]

Scratching
I caught myself absent-mindedly scratching just inside my waistband where my eczema patches stubbonly remain after well over 12 months now. How long have I been doing this and not noticing? How will I ever know????
Meh. Gonna slap the hydrocortisone on tonight and hope for the best.

Book Review
I recently bought a book called: Eczema: The treatments and therapies that really work. Its supported by the National Eczema Society, and written by Charman and Lawton – two medical professionals in the world of dermatology.
I’ve read most of it, and I found it really helped me to understand the eczema that I suffer from. [...]

The patches on my tummy got better for while. I was slapping on the emollient twice a day, and I really thought I was going to see them disappear.
But over the last two weeks I’ve been stressed out moving house and finishing my job at work – and they’re back with a vengeance.
And I’ve run [...]
