This is a little gross, but I need help
I've recently developed eczema (so not fun) and after trying dietary and other non-medical treatments I've finally had to go to the doctor and get a mild medicated cream. My main problem is that it's exacerbated by rough clothing and contact. Most of the tees I wear to cheer are basic cotton, not rough but definitely not soft. And the usual skin-to-skin contact that sometimes causes slight friction burns means I break out in more itchy spots. Prime example is any sort of cradling makes my back and sides itch. I find myself absentmindedly scratching in between stunts, whenever I get frustrated, when I'm stretching... pretty much ALL the time I'm not actively reminding myself not to scratch. I dread having to put on my uniform top. My team mates have been pretty good about not being grossed out by me (I love them) but is there anyone who has experienced this that can help out?
