"Over the last couple weeks my severe eczema has begun weeping. It's hard to find reliable information about weeping eczema, especially since I haven't noticed any blisters. It's currently 4:19 am and I've been up since 2:30 am. I get about as much sleep as an overdose of tylenol and ibuprofen will give me before my soaked pillowcase and itchiness wake me up. However, I feel hopeful. Last night I took a hydrogen peroxide bath and this morning I'm barely red at all. The weeping on my body used to smell very strongly of plasma but this morning barely smells at all. It's like I got doused in mineralized water.
Over the last few months my eczema went from some stubborn patches on my inner elbows to a full body pain fest. Right now I feel very hopeful because the weeping has made scratching at the patches really unappealing. I've scratched at myself when I'm nervous my whole life... and am very anxious in general. That's finally getting kicked and I feel like once my patience pays off and the weeping stops then I may crest a new level of improvement into manageability. I would really like to be able to have a job again."
