My Eczema & Psoriasis Healing Journey
August, 2023 - skipped my dose of Skyrizi.
Completely clear skin up until Winter, 2025 - my psoriasis returns with a few patches on my shins, elbows, wrist (where I wore my watch).
January 25, 2026
Started getting eczema on the underside of my forearms, both arms. It initially looked liked hives. Primary care doctor thought it was a heat rash. Dermatologist confirmed it was eczema.
January 26, 2026 - Prescribed methylprednisolone to deal with "heat rash" Burning and itching is so bad that I'm having to spray burn cream on my arm. I go to my primary care doctor and she's puzzled - ultimately thinks it is heat rash. However, that didn't make sense to me. She prescribes methylprednisolone, a 5 day dose.
January 27, 2026 - Started carnivore diet, dermatologist confirms eczema
About 1.5 weeks prior, I was having consistent bad stomach aches. These have gone away as of about 1.5 weeks.
While my Psoriasis has been flaring, I’m also now getting Eczema like I’ve never had before. It started on my upper arm, then has been spreading all over my body like a virus. It itches and burns. It’s many tiny dots all over - almost like chicken pox. It keeps me up at night due to the burning and itching.
- I went to my primary care doctor yesterday and was prescribed some methylprednisolone that could help push it back for a bit. I went to the dermatologist today and she confirmed it was a bad case of Eczema.
- I start on a strict carnivore diet, even cutting out coffee completely. I'm decaf tea/water only for liquids, eggs, beef, fish, chicken for diet.
- I start taking L Glutamine powder, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. If my issue is gut-related, L Glutamine can potentially help with gut healing.
I start to notice my arm near my bicep/shoulder is getting smaller spots and another patch has appeared. This also burns and itches - now i know this was a mix of eczema and psoriasis.
The watch-wear mark on my wrist develops into a solid plaque and the top of my arm is developing itchy patches:
Legs have a few patches
January 28, 2026
All of my symptoms are getting worse quickly. My eyes and ears start to develop eczema or psoriasis, not sure which. It feels like flames under my eyes, so likely eczema.
my ears get red hot, especially when I'm in a room with hot air blowing.
January 29, 2026 - start drinking decaf tea, added in probiotic (Saccharomyces Boulardii) I'm noticing minor skin improvements, likely from the methylprednisolone. I'm still adapting to being completely caffeine free and the carnivore diet, so my energy/mood isn't great. I was low energy and unproductive the whole day.
January 31, 2026 - clues in the poop I have a bowl movement, the poop is separated, light brown, floating in the bowl, and extra fowl.
This might point to malabsorption or microbiome imbalances affecting fat digestion. It could indicate issues like IBS, food intolerances, or infections.
Feburary 1, 2026 - burning and itching are getting even worse I didn’t sleep last night due to the burning in my body. I had to use the burn spray + the burn relief medication primary care doctor gave me. I think I fell asleep around 3am. Awful night.
Feburary 2, 2026 - symptoms get worse at night At night is when burning and itching is the worst. Seems to calm down very early morning.
Read eczema free naturally by Logan Trudell and ordered some additional supplies based on the recommended protocol.
Feburary 3, 2026 - start stinging nettle tea, experimenting with witch hazel for itching
Active protocol:
- L Glutamine first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Stinging Nettle Tea: morning and night.
February 4, 2026 - started taking Sangre de Drago
February 5, 2026 - skiing day 1
Last night I slept all night and didn’t wake up. Finally!
Went skiing today and my energy was so good the entire day. My eyes were slightly irritated at one point, but it calmed down. It was a great day!
Had a bowl movement, stool was solid/well-formed/healthy.
February 6, 2026 - didn't sleep well last night I was itching like crazy and very uncomfortable in the AirBnB. It was light and loud and drafty. I couldn't get even close to comfortable.
Note to self: get sleep mask and earplugs, always have these handy.
February 8, 2026 - started taking activated charcoal
February 8, 2026 - arm swelling!!
Arm got inflamed. Seems like scratching caused puss and eventual infection.
February 10, 2026 - started applying SkinSmart Antimicrobial base layer to my skin
