Painting With Non-Dominant Hand // TSW Channel Update

Hi guys! Today I decided to do a draw with your left hand challenge. The reason why I’m doing this though is not specifically because of the challenge itself, but rather to just film something to feel productive after a really bad eczema flair up on my right hand which made it very painful and stiff as I’m unable to bend or move my fingers.

From a lot of research, I think that this flair up was due to topical steroid withdrawal as I’ve been clear for a couple of months without the use of steroid creams (that I’m aware of now). And by the time I flaired up and unknowingly used a high potency cream, it no longer helped in any way. I know this sounds vague but I’ve been dealing with this skin condition for around 13 years now, I tried different methods which worked then it stopped working.. It’s all very complex but I really tried to explain my current condition in the video, so hopefully it makes sense.

With this decision that I’ve made to go cold turkey on steroids, this will of course affect my channel as my eczema is the most severe on my right hand, which is my dominant hand. So I hope that I can keep this channel going and in days where I can tolerate the pain to bend my fingers, I’ve decided to paint wearing gloves.

I hope you guys understand, and I hope that none of you are going through the same ordeal as me, however if you are, I’ll list a few links which helped me to understand TSW a bit more.
