Health concern.. Honestly, I have various worries, but the most serious health concern is itching.
What is itching?
An unpleasant sensation that causes the urge to scratch or rub the skin
My father has atopic dermatitis among my parents.
I also have atopic dermatitis inherited through genetics.
I didn't know because the symptoms weren't severe when I was young.
As time went on, the symptoms of itching started to appear one by one.
At first, my thigh itched, so I unconsciously scratched it...
The itchy sensation moved from my thigh to my calf, then to my back... forearm... and finally to my scalp and face.
Even though my skin is sensitive, scratching causes it to turn red and swell.
Since I scratch while awake, I control the intensity so I don't bleed, but if I scratch during sleep, I even get blood under my nails.
For this reason, I went to the dermatologist to get a prescription and take medication.
I haven't even drunk alcohol for the past two months because I've been taking medication lately.
I quit the alcohol I loved so much... I take good care of my skin and take my medication properly, but I still feel itchy and it's stressing me outㅠㅠ
The problem... is that working is my biggest concern.
I'm in the service industry, so I can't just scratch myself vigorously in front of the customer because it might seem itchy.
I would scratch if I were alone at home or in the bathroom, but I can't even scratch in front of the customer, and it really feels like I'm going crazy.
It’s so itchy, and not being able to scratch it is very painful..
As a result, I often couldn't control my facial expressions when responding to customers because I was so itchy and wanted to scratch quickly...
When a customer enters, I immediately feel annoyed and wish they would just quickly choose and leave.
Once, it was so itchy that I couldn't stand it, so I told the guest I would briefly go to the bathroom.
You scratched your arms and legs while getting water in the bathroom.. Scratching like that temporarily relieves the itching but
After some time, it itches again.. The itchy area is not fixed and the whole body itches..
When doing certain tasks, my concentration also decreases because I get distracted.
I couldn't resist scratching when I was with the boss.
The perfectionist boss told me, "Aren't you going to wash yourself?" and "Take a shower and go around," or "Go to the bathhouse and scrub yourself."
Is it because you have a cat at home? What should I do... If you keep scratching like that, it doesn't look good... they say.
It's not that I don't take showers... In fact, I wash myself more often because of this itchiness, and I also apply body lotion extensively.
I carry it around frequently, but even after applying body lotion, the itching doesn't stop, so it's really tough.
There is also a more serious level... I couldn't take a picture because it was too dirty.
I think I scratch myself unconsciously even while sleeping, but I have no memory of it at all.
When I wake up, I find wounds on my face and scalp, and there is blood under my nails.
At first, I thought something was stuck under my nail because my makeup didn't come off properly.
It looks like the blood has clotted...
And when I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, there were times when blood was flowing on my face, and I had a dark brown beard.
I might not worry if it happens once or twice, but since these symptoms occur frequently, I am quite concerned.
So, I am applying antifungal ointment in the morning and evening.
I apply it to the most itchy and serious area.. Even though it provides temporary relief, it still itches.
I don't really feel like the medication I take is effective.
When I get stressed, I feel like my body is itchy, so I wonder if it's because stress and atopic dermatitis are combined.
I even have the urge to peel off all the flesh.
Sometimes I deliberately stab myself with something sharp, and I do all sorts of things to stop the itching.
As a result, there are many scars on the skin and many calluses.
Since I get many cuts on my scalp, I also feel like my hair is falling out a lot...
The issues are becoming serious both in terms of beauty and health.
This itching sensation occurs again before going to bed.
After taking a shower, I care for my body with body lotion and the prescribed medication.
Just as I lie down on the fluffy, soft blanket and think it's time to sleep, the itching sensation comes back.
Suddenly, I feel all my nerves focusing on my body, and at the same time, I have an impulse to peel off my skin.
I am abusing my own skin.
So I also cut my nails very frequently.
If there is blood under the nail and the nail is long, it might cause more cuts to the skin...
I can't do nail art either.. Even if I want to, I can't do it..
Are there any others like me?
I don't know why it's so itchy ㅠㅠ
I'm still writing this now, and I kept scratching because it was itchy.
Honestly, I'm afraid to meet anyone new because of this.
You can't scratch it if it's a meeting with new people or an important encounter.
I'm really struggling with this skin condition that drives people crazy.

두드러기인지는 모르겠는데 그냥 이유없이 간지러워요
어제도 긁다가 새벽 3시에 간신히 잠들었어요
꼭 자기전에 심해져서 잠도 제대로 못자요 병원가서 약먹고있긴한데
호전되는거 같지가 않네요
저도 같은 증상입니다 아버지가 아토피 피부엿는데 유전인지 온몸이 가려워요
아침에 일어나면 이불도 손톱도 비가 묻어잇어요
요즘은 얼굴을 자주 긁어서 얼굴에도 딱지가 떠나지않네요ㅜ방법을 찾지못햇어요

아 진짜 고통이 심하실거 같아요~
제가 유튜브에서 배운건데 알려드려볼게요
약국에서 파는 생리식염수와 멸균거즈를 이용하는 건데요,
소독한 깨끗한 그릇에 생리식염수를 붓고 멸균거즈를 담근 후 피부에 올려놓는 겁니다. 상처가 없는 피부에 하셔야 하구요. 5~10분 정도만 올려놓으심 되요. 생리식염수가 염분기가 있어서 피부는 흐르는 물로 가볍게 씻으시면 됩니다.
처음에는 조금 해봐서, 효과가 있는지 살펴보셔도 좋을거 같아요.
저는 간지러운 부위에 올려보고 효과를 봤거든요 ~ 다우니향기님도 증상이 호전되시길 바래봅니다~

정말 많이 힘드시겠어요ㅠ 글로만 접해도
넘 힘들어 보이는데 겪고계신 분의 고통을
어찌 헤아릴 수 있겠습니까 이방법 저방법
다 해보신것 같은데 근본적인 체질변경을
위해서 식단을 바뀌보시는건 어떨까요?
힘내세요 응원합니다~^-^

에고... 저도 첫째 임신했을 때 몇개월을 심한 임신소양증을 앓아서
그 고통 알아요.. 저는 더 심했거든요 30분도 못자고 일어나 엉엉 울고
피가 날 정도 긁고... 아이가 배속에 있으니 함부로 스테로이드제도 쓸 수 없고..
결국 유명하다는 한방병원 가서 연고 로션 치료 하다가
약하게 한약 먹고 나아졌어요....
스트레스를 줄이시고, 꼭 보습하시고.. 이건 아마 당연히 하실 것 같은데...
정 심하시면 소양증을 위한 한의원 있어요 한번 꼭 찾아 가보세요.
전 그래도 그 한의원 약으로... 아이 낳을 때까지 버텼답니다.
임산부가 먹을 수 있을 정도의 약이니 일반인들에게도 문제 없을거에요.
에고.. 너무 고생하시는데 꼭 해결하시길 바랄게요
