I have no idea what I need to be doing but skin is impossible.
I have both acne and eczema and as you can imagine whatever I use to treat one triggers the other! I am mid twenties.
I have tried a few things: water based moisturiser, vitamin c serum, vitamin e oil, aveeno, sudocrem, peroxide cream on prescription from the doctors, various acids for acne.
It's currently very sore and I cant think of what to put on it that wont make it worse!

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I had similar issues, including psoriasis, and evening primrose oil capsules helped hugely. I still take them everyday. I’m very fair and also stay out of the sun. I only use Clinique products nowadays, but everyone is different. I hope it sorts itself out xoxo

Oh I used to have this and still get occasional bouts of it. It generally gets worse if I chop and change products. I find sticking to one gentle cleanser and one plain moisturiser (I use cerave or a dermatitis cream when it is bad) sorts it out (and resisting temptation to add in any new wonder product). Hope it gets better OP - it is so awful when it’s sore and stingy.

Thank you both - I'll be trying the evening primrose capsules and I've been meaning to try cerave moisturiser for a while as I've heard good things
