My grandmother passed away in 2001, primarily due to Lupus. I’ve been worried that I may have/get Lupus (since it is a genetically transmitted disease). I have common flare ups of a rash that i thought was eczema, but recently have thought could be related to Lupus. Could Lupus cause Eczema? Are they linked somehow?
Thanks!

My lips are swollen, raw, crusting…. Sometimes the skins on my lips turns white then sloughs off in a seemingly never-ending cycle.
I can’t eat normally and everything I drink has to come through a straw.
I have been to several dermatologists and had 2 seperate biopsies. Those results were normal and as well as bloodwork. I have shown an immediate sensitivity to cinnamic aldehyde through a patch test and I am being treated with topical steroids. I have also eliminated all toothtpastes, gums, and mouthwashes from my routine. After many months I am still suffering and need answers….. Is my condition really a result of cinnamic aldehyde or is there something else going on? Will there be any relief for my condition ??? Does any one know anything to help me??

I have severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Here’s the thing. When I’m stressed, I itch more. When I get really itchy, I get stressed about it. This has escalated into screaming fits before (I’m not proud). My dermatologist concludes that I have panic attack disorder and she prescribed me Doxepin. The doxepin has only stopped the itching and stress in the sense that I can’t itch in my sleep. Its only effect has been sleep. So, is there a link between skin conditions and panic attacks, or is my dermatologist wrong on this one? Also, how I go about asking for a change from the doxepin. I hate it.
