I have gotten eczema later on (it started around 13 years old) and it has been spreading as I've gotten older. I'm now 34 and it's moved from under my nose to the corners of my eyes, my scalp, and the side of my hand (itchy bumps filled with a chest liquid). In winter I get bumps on the back of my hands and they were there during the pandemic when I had to sanitizer my hands often for work.
My allergies also seem to be growing and I'm reacting to new things couple of years. Metals, scented products like perfume and even shampoo (menstrual pads!), some raw fruits and vegetables that have been rinsed (they must be peeled or cooked), etc. Metal started around 13 also but many of my other allergies appeared well into adulthood and my metal allergies have heightened. Other allergies, like a cat allergy, seem to have significantly lessened.
Is there any way I can curb this growth? I'm afraid that it will eventually start to limit my life. Thank you!
