This year I haven't had much problems with my eczema, I realized earlier in the week. I wish I hadn't. Yesterday I got a slightly itchy rash on top of my left hand. Of course I had forgotten to pack my eczema cream, but I did bring my Bio-Oil with me and made the itching stop. Tonight I found two small blisters on the side of one finger. I've had this type of eczema bad several years from spring until it cooled down in autumn. Then suddenly last year I had one or two small flare ups. And this year, so far, I hadn't happened.
Luckily, they're not itchy, I'll put some Bio-oil on it and a bandage around my finger so I can touch it. I know from experience that once I start scratching the break out will only get worse.
It's probably a combination of the heat of the past week and a half and a stressful week. Add to that that the last couple of nights I got a whole bunch of mosquito bites. At least I'm lucky, mosquito bites stopped itching for me a couple of years ago, I just get a red spot that usually disappears within a couple of days.
I'm glad I'm going home in two days; we hardly get any mosquitos there.
My throat is doing okay. After the Prednison course it went back to being irritated, as before. After a couple of days the irritation suddenly disappeared. The last couple of days I tend to get a bit of dry throat in the late afternoon. But that could also be because of the fan I've got aimed at me most of the day. If it's an allergy it will return next week, when I go home. So I just have to wait and see.
