Eczema flare up in Spring

[Teach66]

Does anyone else suffer an eczema flare up during the change in seasons, particularly at the end of Winter going into Spring? I have had 2 nasty flare ups to my face, neck and shoulders in the last 2 weeks. This has happened to me in the past several times and was wondering if other eczema sufferers have experienced the same.

Thanks in advance.

Yes but mine flares when we go from autumn into winter. Annoying, isn't it?

Mine is generally worse in cold weather and better in the warmer weather, but here in Scotland we can get cold weather right through April, so I have a bit of a wait for it to improve. You might be interested as flares and their control is going to be the next topic under investigation in the RAPID Trials programme which you can see here nctu.ac.uk/our-research/ran...

Know what you mean about flare-up in the spring. I get eczema on my eyelid. I don't wear any eye make-up or perfume ever so I know it is caused my allergy to grasses and tree pollen. It usually clears up later in summer. Antihistamines might help if you haven't already tried them.

Hi, yes I have antihistamines. Thank you for your reply. 🙂
