Anyone else out there with eczema who can relate to this? I often feel torn when seeing photos of others’ eczema because while I’m fully supportive of total transparency and showing the world what it’s really like to have eczema, I’ve never really been able to do it myself because I used to get super triggered looking at my own eczema in real life and others’ eczema in photos. Over time, I’ve been able to look at others’ photos more without getting triggered, but just curious about anyone else who has a similar experience and your thoughts on it? For me, sometimes in the past I’ve felt guilty for not being able to look or to provide photos of my own eczema. While for some, it’s a great way to document their progression out of steroid dependency and to see what’s working in their healing journey, what’s helped me in my healing journey has been to keep it as much out of my mind and sight as possible because I can have a tendency to obsess over the rashes and go on a downward spiral of depression and anxiety. But I also see the value in doing it for those who can stomach the sight. Those who can are so strong in my eyes. What are your thoughts?
