I had some kind of chapstick/lipgloss irritate my lips and eczema acted up around my mouth. I Googled what to do and articles contradict each other: "Use steroids, benedrl, cotizone..." vs "avoid those" My lips feel better, not the skin around it...
Hello dear
, I can so relate to your words! My lips have become very very sensitive to every lipstick I try and even many ChapStick type "lubricants/protectants", medicated and otherwise. I can even get that redness around my lips to have that clown-like look! I also know how confusing "Doctor Google" can be for our issues. Perhaps checking in with your health care provider may shed the best light on what to do. They know your individual health history best. As my dermatologist advised for me and all I use now is that plain old-fashioned remedy, Vaseline! It's comforting relief and healing effect on my lips and surrounding skin is without compare.

I get "just don't scratch!" often. Most of my eczema happens when I'm sleeping and wake up a bloody, patchy mess! Maybe I'll have to start wearing mittens or socks on my hands each night. Like a baby. Good lord, I'm a 40 year old child!
Hello dear
, you are not alone here with us. Your symptoms are definitely not uncommon among your understanding peeps here! Me for one. My dry cracked skin is so tender, it seems to bleed just by looking at it! After applying coats of Vaseline, I have used your idea of wearing (white) gloves to bed! It does seem to help. Others have written about their very same issues. Here are some: https://atopicdermatitis.net/living/tips-getting-sleep. https://atopicdermatitis.net/living/scratching-sleep. https://atopicdermatitis.net/living/eczema-sleep-tips.
