here's a post for a friend.. :)

I guess many people don't know this, but I've had to battle with eczema for years. I caught it one day during my NS years, and it stayed ever since.

I remember.. when I first caught the eczema, I've never heard about such a thing before.. and the symptoms of eczema were really scary. The relentless itching, the pain after the itch.. the scars, and the embarrassment of having to expose those parts being affected were really terrible. Add to that, when I heard from the doctor that this sickness was something that would never heal naturally just added to the pain. I was really devastated at that time.

But along the way.. I've learnt that though this kind of sickness can't be healed, it can be managed. As I read up on eczema and other skin issues, I realized that there were medication and anti-biotics out there that can help get rid of the rashes every time they appeared.

These medications work. And the more you use them, the better it gets.. :) From time to time, the rashes still appear, but every time after applying medication, the rashes go away.

I believe yours would heal completely, its different from eczema. :) Even though its unbearable at times.. stick through it alright? Stay through the medication.. God brings healing through medication as well.. :)

Take care friend.. you'll get through this!! :)
