has anyone had a flare up of eczema before??

I've never had eczema before. I have skin issues when it's itching, but it's just come up in the last month. It's so itching. I've been using oat cream and aloe vera gel, but I would love some advice from you if you've been in my position before.

  1. , I have never had eczema, but I have psoriasis. My grandkids have eczema which I would have bet was psoriasis. Did your condition get any better? Diane (Team Member)

    1. It turn out it was psoriasis but I got a fungal infection for the swimming pool which now has caused it to flare up even when I’m stressed, I’ve been given steroids creams. I think it’s due to long term use of steroids that have skin issues now too because I’ve never had this issues before? But now it’s another thing I have to be aware of as well now.


      I believe skin condition or issues with in renal disease is not so uncommon.
      Thank you

      1. , WOW!!! A fungal infection from the swimming pool. I guess I'm not surprised. I used to take steroids years ago, but they started thinning my skin, so they took me off of them. Do we ever catch a breath? Let's keep letting our voices be heard. I hope you are feeling better. Diane (Team Member)
