Spinky Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi folks So I'm on day 26 today and my skin in as bad as ever so I'm feeling really disheartened. I have always had sensitive skin and am prone to problems, but this atopic dermatitis or eczema has only developed in the last couple of years. I only get it on my face, neck, décolletage, insides of elbows and hands. It seems to be worst on areas that have suffered sun damage in the past (I say this because the inflammation resembles sunburn when I've been wearing a vest top). The primary reason for doing the whole 30 again (last one was last summer) was to get control of my skin problems but today's flare-up is awful. I have followed the plan carefully (although I probably rely on nuts and dried fruit too much) but it really hasn't improved and I've had to get my 'big gun' creams, which calm things down for a couple of days but then I'm back to square one. Could it be that it's not related to diet? Is it these fodmap foods I read about? Do I need to be more patient and do another 30 (I had a rather greedy sugar dragon before starting)? Otherwise I feel good so have a range of NSVs but this was the one I wanted most. Any advice welcome! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Take heart and don't be dismayed. If it's been there for 2 years, it's going to take longer than 30 days for it to go away. Have faith. Stay the course, Spinky. You pull out the big gun creams and I'll say a special prayer. Just for you. Today. This is a special day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
