How has eczema affected your day-to-day life?

Eczema can significantly affect a person's life, whether mild, moderate, or severe - from what you can eat to getting sleep to skincare and more. What impact has it had on your life? What have you had to change about your lifestyle to adapt?

  1. I'm in my late 50's and I've had AD since September.Prior to that, I've never had any skin problems so this condition is something that has really tested my patience and resolve. I've had to do a complete lifestyle change. Now, I have to watch what I eat. I have to remember to use mild soaps and moisturize. Wear loose fitting clothes. Remember to break the itch-scratch cycle. Suffice it to say it's been tough, a real challenge. I'd like to know what others who have the same condition do with the effects on the scalp. I use tea-tree shampoo but after a bath, my scalp itches like hell! Any advice(s)?Part of my scalp and you can see there is irritation after a routine bath
