Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]
in Health ·
Hey there, fellow forum members... So, I just went through this entire thread from the very first page to the last—man, the way you guys help each other out is awesome. There’s a ton of solid info in here if you actually bother to read it.
I'm dealing with some symptoms that might be neurodermatitis, so I figured I'd throw it out there and see what you all think.
The symptoms:
- Rashes, eczema, and spots specifically right under my eyes and on my eyelids
- Swollen eyes
- Nowhere else on my body
- It doesn't itch, it doesn't burn, it isn't peeling, it's not pus-filled, and there's zero discharge
- It only flares up during the winter
- Started when I was 30, now I'm 33
I went in for testing... turns out I'm allergic to dust, mites, grass, stuff like that.
Honestly, I'm having a hard time connecting that to this winter thing because I'm constantly outdoors and I deal with plenty of dust normally—like, I'm always messing around in my car—so I don't have any issues the rest of the year.
I've read everything about diet and lifestyle changes, but again, I just don't see the link...
The doctor gave me some Telfast tablets and Maxidex cortisone, and boom—gone in a few days. I also tried Protopic, but that didn't really do much for me. As soon as I stop the meds, it comes right back... anyway, here are the photos
Cheers everyone, hope you all have fewer health headaches in 2008.
