Teenage Experience
I’m a new member to this group, so I figure I should give a small background on
what I have and what I know. I’ve had eczema from a very young age, but,
luckily for me, that went away completely before I went into elementary school,
sparing me from what I imagine would be childhood torment from my peers.
However, as if by cruel choice, eczema hit me like a brick wall during puberty.
Since then, it has been an uphill battle, but one that I have winning for the
most part. So if any of you are in your teens, or have children who are getting
around that age, feel free to ask me questions about the social end of things
and how to deal with that. Its not too different from anything else, but
sometimes you just like to hear it from someone who’s gone through it.
On a side from that, I’ve got a few questions.
Does anyone find that the less hair you have, the les irritated the skin
becomes? My arms used to itch a lot, until I shaved off the hair in a desperate
attempt to make it stop, and it did make a difference.
Has anyone found Borage oil to be helpful? I used to take Evening Primrose, but
someone recommended borage oil. I’m not sure if it did worse, the same, or
better than the primrose.
Lastly, has anyone undergone light therapy treatments? Any success stories?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
