sigh~ i think im suffering from some kind of retribution or something. bad luck or just unpleasant events keep strucking me. damnit. & yes, as e title says, im currently plagued w tt irritating skin problem that makes my body super duper ugly. =(

some research i've done on stupid eczema..

Eczema is a condition of chronic itchy and inflamed skin. Eczema can appear on any part of the body but is most frequently found on the face, wrists, elbows and knees. The skin may become thickened and appear brownish gray in colour.

Eczema is hereditary. It is common among infants, but most infants grow out of it before their second birthday. If it persists beyond that age, the child is likely to be a chronic sufferer. Asthma sufferers often also suffer from eczema, so children with asthma may be at greater risk of skin problems.


Symptoms include:
1. Patches of chronically itchy, dry, thickened skin, usually on the hands, neck, face and legs. In children, this may appear in the inner creases of the knees and elbows too.
2. Skin lesions, patches of redness, scaling and, in dark-skinned people, changes in skin colour.
3. Small bumps or blisters which ooze fluid.
