Embarrassed but need advice…
I recently got diagnosed with eczema within the last five years. I had a bad reaction to Native deodorant & that was the catalyst to my underarms having eczema. Unfortunately, I also have it in my Brazilian region + nipple area. Quite embarrassing, especially when I’m flaring & itchy in public :(
I’ve honestly tried EVERYTHING. Steroid creams, allergy medication, patch testing, Ebglyss (similar to dupixent). I honestly loved Ebglyss because my flares/eczema was non existent & my skin didn’t look dark or bumpy. But I was tired of injecting myself & didn’t want to become too reliant on it, which was good because I recently switched insurance companies & it’s not covered & I don’t want to pay thousands of dollars for a monthly shot.
As of recent, my eczema has thankfully subsided & I only really flare mildly when it’s my time of the month (dang you hormones). I’ve also started taking fish oil + milk thistle, but I’m not sure if that has made any difference.
I guess what I’m asking is for any advice on other options I could look into… I’m just tired of big pharma prescribing more creams + medication. Also tired of secretly scratching all these awkward areas of my body in public. Any & all advice would be greatly appreciated! 🫶🏼
