Super transparent post about what I’ve been dealing with on the backend.
I always “knew” that there would ultimately be consequences to using an over the counter hydrocortisone cream to treat my facial eczema, but never in a million years think it would be like this.
Extremely blessed that my case is considered mild.
Some signs that helped me realize it was tsw after stopping hydrocortisone use were:
-increase sensitivity in skin
-intense peeling stage
-facial reddness and burning similar to sunburn around eyes/nose/mouth
Things that have helped me:
-eczema safe oat cleansers
-facial oils to help rebuild the skin
-barrier repair serums
-lipid filled moisturizers
-zinc oxide
