It's such a shame that the weather has taken a turn for the worse. The cloudy, rainy weather has started to kick in, which is always bad news for my skin. When we were on holiday a couple of weeks ago, the skin on my face actually cleared up due to the amount of sun I was getting. Sadly, the improvements didn't last and my face took a bit of a downturn with all the bad weather recently. If you have time, check out my blogposts from October last year. My skin was really awful at that time and I think the weather had a lot to do with it.
Anyway..here are my pics....
The majority of my body is now rash-free at almost 22 months of steroid withdrawal. My rashy areas are confined to parts of my face and inner arms.
I am worried about how the impending winter will impact on my TSW, but I will have to wait and see what happens. There is no use stressing about it.

louise - thanks for the photo update. like you and josh (redskinrecoverydiary), i've started taking pictures daily. can't believe that the skin's not healed even though i only used hydrocortisone for 2 weeks. more power to you and wishing you a speedy recovery.
So happy for you :) xx
Hi,
Can you tell me what you've used on your skin to help it (soap, cream, etc.)?
Right now, I use Dove Sensitive Skin soap and then for moisturizer, coconut oil and Vaseline. Do you also recommend Epsom salts, apple cider vinegar rinse with water and any essential oils?
My skin is really red, dry and flaky at the time, but parts of me are still oozing but then get really dry and flaky like my hands for instance (and my hands especially have a weird odor)
I appreciate Any tips or recommendations you have. Also, have you ever used Calendulis cream found on the Eczema Comoany's website?
Thanks for your help!
Different things work for different people and what suits me may not suit someone else. Right now I am just using warm water on a cotton wool pad to cleanse the face. I use hemp cream to moisturise, but only very sparingly.
