Taming the beast

With colder weather comes the return of the scales. My eczema is back, in full itching, stinging, and cracking force. So far I've been trying to self-heal with religious application of thick moisturizers and hydrocortisone cream. Carmex, an old-school but effective unguent, works surprisingly well in a pinch. I'm getting used to having permanently sticky forearms, and I hope that ruining my sweaters is worth it in angry scale abatement.

Itch.

Scratch.

Whimper.
