everything burns in the shower, even when you use cold water
no hot water: no hot showers, no hot tubs, no hot springs
not being able to go on sleepovers or travel to certain places because you can’t pack your humidifier or air purifier or the climate will fuck you up or there are just too many allergens there
if you ever do feel like going anywhere, having to pack your entire medicine cabinet (gauze and bandages included)
having to be careful with anything you put on your skin: makeup, lotions, etc…
clothing: as a child, cotton only - no jeans, no polyester, nope
when eczema breaks out on your face or any visible part of your body, and people are afraid of being near you for fear of catching some horrible disease. also people just straight up staring at you

not being able to wear short sleeves or shorts because you’re afraid of people seeing your scars
the only medications that work have horrible side effects…like topical steroid withdrawal or increasing the risk of skin cancer
being the really annoying friend with all the food allergies
