New to the forum, eczema driving me to the dumps
Hi all, new to the forum and never really joined any sort of skin forum before.
I'm pretty open with friends and family about my skin, but I've never actually found anyone else with it, so I guess this forum will have to do.
I keep waking up with really sore patches, like I've literally scratched my skin off during the night and it's driving me nutty.
What are some good ways to stop this happening? It's mostly at night, as I barely scratch during the day, certainly nothing to the level I do at night.
I've tried allergy tablets which have never really worked, and just seem to make me have no energy, so I don't feel like they are worth continuing with.

Hi there! How about try wet wrapping at night? And any chance it's related to dust mite, get an allergy test to confirm it?
Take care,
