Today, as always, I have a type of eczema that flares up when I'm stressed out or anxious. And today, the girl I've been in love with for 4 years asked me out on a date. We meet up in a few hours, and right now I look like I have smallpox. FML

Just explain the situation to her. I'm sure she'll understand

if she truly cares for you, she will understand.

Relax. and take a klonopin and apply lots of moisturizer. and explain if you have to that you have a little bit of an allergy ya know and be like it's no big deal and just have a good time.

I have eczema as well so I understand your plight. FYL OP, I hope she is understanding to your situation.

I have a severe form of eczema where it flares constantly. I'm so self-conscious about it all the time because it's all over my face. but my advice to you is gently explain what is going on and, if all goes well, she'll understand and like you for you. trust me, I'm twenty-one and engaged to a man who says he doesn't notice my eczema anymore :)

I have epilepsy, problems with muscles in most parts of my body and some slight anger issues. My boyfriend saw me having a seizure long before we started dating and he still cares for me more than I ever thought he would. If she really cares for you, she won't care.

Follow up and let us know how it went!!

If you've known her for 4 years, either a)she has noticed the eczema before and doesn't care or b) hasn't noticed, which means it's not that noticeable. I've got eczema too and so has my boyfriend (his is more sporadic)and it only affects us if one of us is scratching cause it makes the other itch

Well, since you've known eachother for four years now, she knows how you usually look and not judge you for this tiny moment in time. Also: she asked you. Which means she likes to be around you. Being nervous is absolutely normal and you will be fine. Tell all of us how it went!

Oh u poor thing!! Explain it to her! I'm sure she would understand!
