It is killing me slowly.
by: A.N. on Fri, Oct 30 2009

I started off my young adult years in the restaurant industry as a dishwasher where the problem first began as extremely dry skin. It quickly progressed to a small red rash on my wrists and now about six years later it covers my hands, wrists, and I have frequent outbreaks on the face and back.

I have tried all kinds of remedies from steroids (topical, oral and injections), homeopathic treatments, etc. Have not tried UV therapy or the number one I would imagine: get out of the restaurant business (still in it).

I am being driven mad by the constant itching, the neuroses that have developed from attempts to work around it or cover it up and the stares and ridicule of others.
