can confirm. I was suffering from atopic dermatitis for years, to the point where my bedsheets were covered with bloodstains every night due to unconsciously scratching my eczema while asleep. I was prescribed topical steroids to control it during flareups.
Then I moved from home and stopped daily showering, and the eczema resolved by itself. No lotions, no steroids, no bathing solutions! Imagine my relief. Since then I’m only showering twice a week with plain water (except the groin region where I use a bit of soap) and have been fine.
- eczema_haver 6y agoI do have to wonder if part of it is the way my skin is extra-eager to shed cells on its own (due to the eczema). That could be functioning as a kind of "automatic shower". Which would explain why some people with skin issues can do this without problems, but not everyone can. That's pure speculation though.
