I know not many people will be able to relate to this, but I just need to vent.

I know not many people will be able to relate to this, but I just need to vent.

I have a job interview tomorrow, and trying to pick out an outfit has me super bummed. It's gonna be 84 degrees out, but I'm going to have to wear long sleeves. I have self harm scars all over my arms from when I was 14-15. They're raised and red and pretty noticeable. I have eczema in the same spot, and the scratching makes them bleed and they look like fresh cuts. 😕 So I have to keep them covered, especially for interviews. The only time I didn't was the only time I've never been hired, and the woman looked at my arms the entire time.

I know it's my own fault and I brought it upon myself, but I mean, it just gets me down. Wearing long sleeves even when it's hot out so nobody judges me...meh. No creams or lotions help lighten them, either. I'm just hoping wearing long sleeves doesn't make me all sweaty tomorrow...

@mommysbabies I'll try that! Thank you. With my eczema there's not much I can put on it that doesn't burn or make it flare up, but I'll give it a shot. ☺

Yeah maybe mix it up with coconut oil I know a lot of people recommend that for eczema maybe it won't make the make up effect you

I can't imagine that is easy... I don't have any suggestions for scaring... but my husband has EXTREMELY bad eczema, and for the longest time looked like he lost a battle with a tiger, because he'd dig so bad in his sleep! He uses a combination of products over the past year that have really helped! He uses (the CVs brand equivalent of) Aquaphor Ointment tub, Eucerin intensive repair, Eucerin in shower body lotion (take a normal warm shower, step out of the stream and apply the in shower lotion, turn the water as cold as you can stand it, then rinse it off in the cold water... going from the hot and cold like that closes your pours quickly and locks in the moisture) and when he flares, the doctor gave him samples of this new thing that's non-steroidal cream called 'Eucrisa' (crisaborole) ointment, 2%... he is trying to use that to get out of the topical steroid creams... I know that won't help for tomorrow... but maybe for the future!

@scurlock.mommy, the tattoo sounds like a good cover but harder to cover later for the perfect career. Long sleeves may be hot but they are professional. I would wear a suit jacket even if it is hot. Lots of women and men have to dress like that daily even in summer. On another note have u considered laser treatment. Not sure about the eczema but I'm sure the laser will cover the scar u will need time to heal remember pain is beauty as they say. I would consider it an investment in your career and in your future your not that girl anymore unfortunately the world doesn't know that and lasers on ur skin could be the cure all

Not sure how to help with the scars but for the eczema, try goats milk soap. My aunt and her son had it soooo bad all over their arms. First time they used it, was completely gone. Like they never had it, and as long as they keep using it, doesn't come back.

@mommysbabies @babydiehl2016 @dreamermom @txyogagirl @isabellesmomma212 Thank you so much laides! 💕 I just found out the dress code requires long sleeves anyway, so I'm feeling a bit better now! ☺☺ I also woke up this morning and my eczema is the least noticeable it's ever been in years! It's only in a few places instead of covering my entire arm. 💖💖 Thank you everyone for your advice!
