Could cheerfully cut my nipples off!

[Minisoksmakehardwork]

I am in the middle of the worst eczema flair I can remember!

I also have the itchiest skin I have ever experienced and regularly take a bristle brush to it until it hurts for relief.

My bloods are apparently fine (although I don't know levels).

But my nipples are something else! It feels like I have a swarm of ants wriggling inside them.

I have tried the usual creams and ointments, canestan as well (prescribed) and am doubling up on my usual antihistamine tablet to no avail. Cold flannels etc pressed to my bosom.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Oh god you have my sympathies! I had this during my pregnancy and it's the worst place to have an itch because you can't scratch and it's hellish!
The only thing that worked for me was dream cream from lush!
My mum swore by it for her eczema on her legs and my sister uses it on her daughter.
Worth a shot! I hope you find some relief soon.

Ive tried lush before. Tbh I have had no luck with any of their products and it saddens me.

Dr has finally put in referral to dermatology after I told her (politely) that it was going to be done 3 weeks previous but I'd been fobbed off with 'try this week' on repeat. Also, she wasn't impressed when I asked if she was seriously suggesting I take over the counter antihistamines when the doubled up prescribed ones were not working.

Must be the time of year, I've had a flare up there recently. I've had no luck stopping the itching but the large steri dressings stop me scratching and any broken skin sticking to my bra. I think they're called melanim maybe? It's the worst though, pure agony.

Not using liquid soap has been a life changer for me. I've had eczema most of my adult life and no I'm symptom free. I use bars of soap, unscented, and a bar from lush for my hair

I put cold cabbage leaves on mine when I had this. It was amazing
