My skin is still a little rough and scaly following yesterday’s mini-flare, but my itch is virtually gone.
I emailed Dr Aron last night and got a reply this morning confirming that my bruising is most likely due to hard itching in my sleep. Apparently it’s not uncommon so I feel much more at ease about it now.
Tonight, I’m going to Brighton for a night on the lash so we’ll see how my skin copes with that. I’ve partied a lot less hard and frequently since January, mainly because by about 12am my skin is so irritated by whatever chiffony material fashion dictates I wear this season that the thought of 3 more hours on a sweaty dancefloor – drinking alcohol which I know contributes to my itch – makes me feel just a little bit shit.
It will be interesting to see how I get on tonight, and whether staying away from beer, wine and fruity cocktails is enough to keep my eczema at bay now that it’s mostly under control.
I washed and straightened my hair this morning in prep for tonight, and I’m marvelling at the fact that 8 hours later my hair is still dandruff-free. IT’S THE SMALL THINGS IN LIFE.
