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!

i have eczema and it keeps flaring up on my lower eyelids and on the skin under my eyes. every morning i eat cheerios with chocolate milk (which i recently changed to soymilk because i read that dairy can cause eczema flare ups), and i recently read that gluten can also cause flare ups. and i read that cheerios contain gluten. so could eating cheerios every day be causing my flare ups?

I’ve suffered from eczema all my life, and it seems like Im running out of treatments to try. My dermatologist has prescribed Mimiyx and a steroid cream, but neither of these help with the intense horrible itching that comes with sudden flare-ups. Lately it seems like Im using the steroid more and more out of desperation, my whole face is just raw right now and I can barely sleep because of it. The Mimyx helps keep it in check, but again it doesnt stop the flare-ups or relieve the itching.

Has anyone found a way to quickly relieve the horrible itching? Please, any remedy or advice would be grealty appreciated.
