Little things can become very difficult when the skin is flared up, inflamed or infected. I am on antibiotics regularly and my life gets so interrupted to the point it makes me feel very down. After seeing a doctor at work, they have fortunately given me flexible working which makes me feel less stressed, but unfortunately not all employers are understanding. People think you're just itchy but don't know how uncomfortable and painful it can be. Even though other conditions/illnesses are a lot worse, some eczema sufferers really do suffer in silence and be aware that it can covered by the Disability Discrimination Act if it affetcs you to a large extent. I personally feel diet has a lot to do with it and I am currently seeing a nutritionist, but exercise classes, soothing 'me time' and time in the sun abroad really helps me feel better.
