Contact dermatitis is …
Being allergic to a chair.
And knowing you can’t sit on it with bare skin.
So, when you wear a dress for work, you put a blanket on the chair before sitting on it.
You’re nervous and know you probably should switch chairs, but you’re busy with work.
So you’re careful and keep the blanket on the chair.
But you move around a lot and the blanket keeps slipping off.
And suddenly you realize you’re on the chair with your bare legs … but it’s just for a little, right? You’ve been so careful, it can’t matter that much, right? You’ll get the blanket back just after this email …
And so you do. You get the blanket back onto the chair and nothing is itching or uncomfortable, so you’re fine … right?
Right?
No. This is the next morning. This is contact dermatitis. And it’s itchy and it’s swollen and it’s hot to the touch. And you’re grateful Dupixent will help it not be a crazy flareup that could last weeks.
Even being on good eczema meds doesn’t stop your contact allergies. Be careful out there, eczema fighters.
