That can't be right. You had a birthday last year.

That's the thing about birthdays - they're kind of an annual thing. XD XD

That's news to me.

Yeah, I think it was your nephew and brother. XD ( Ah.

) That's good to hear!


I'm doing pretty good, which is a nice change from last week. XD
I'm a little excited too, because my birthday is coming up soon (and because of a few other things). This year's birthday is going to be super special! ^-^

Yup.

Good good. Nice!

Hey Shannon. Got a question for you: So I've had this small rash on my hand for the past year. It comes and goes but never seems to leave completely. It's driving me insane. I've tried every kind of lotion and they all irritate it more. It loses its redness when under cold water. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make it GO AWAY?

That sounds like eczema - because eczema never leaves. I know, because I have it. :/

Here's what I recommend:
First, stop using all of the lotions. I've tried using lotions before and the ingredients just make everything 1000x worse.
Then, try listing everything you touch (mostly things you touch every day). Then, one thing at a time, avoid it for a few days and see if it makes any difference. Maybe you're allergic to your soap or shampoo? Try a different non-scented brand of each?

If it's dry, use olive oil or Vaseline. They both smell weird, but they work.
If it's really dry, try sticking a damp plaster over it for a while. That'll soften it up and it won't itch as much.

If it doesn't go away, you should probably see about going to a doctor.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes. :3

Thanks!
I hand't really considered eczema, so thanks for bringing it up.
I'm allergic to certain types of soaps but we've found one that doesn't irritate me; it actually relieves my rash to some degree.
It's definitely dry so I'll try what you suggested.

The only other thing I can think of is that I wash my hands A LOT because of all the things I touch in rooms at the lodge. So, maybe it's just irritated due to being touched and rubbed so much??
