If you were in the middle of cleaning/inventory/organizing your messy home,

and went out to cruise for a hot chick, and keeping in mind you had a severe eczema outbreak, would you still be so loose as to go all the way?

I wouldn't.

People aren't interested in relationships anyway.

1. You've mentioned eczema before. Do you have eczema?

Are you taking anything for it? I recently read 7 or 8 new studies about it, and I might be able to share some things I learned.

Sorry to go off-topic. To answer the question, no. I think that there are certain folks that would end my ability to breathe were I to go cruise for a hot chick.

2. Yup. On both counts.

It's a newer medication, but can only taken in a small dose once per week - I may not notice full benefit for another month, but I'm not scratching my wrists and ankles as much as I had been...

And I agree, if I wanted death, I'd find a less painful way of doing so.

Not that I would cruise anyway. Not my gig; I've tried that variant of lifestyle before. Of course, if I recall, you're married. So it makes sense at least one person would do you in, and not in a good way...

5. Okay, to keep this from getting deleted

I'm not going to give you any advice. I'm going to simply list three items, and let you ask your doctor about them or do your own research.

First, script only. Clobetasol Propionate. Cream (c-steroid) to apply to affected areas.

Second, GNC/health food store. Pycnogenol. Oral/capsule.

Third, also GNC/health food store. Grapeseed extract. Oral/capsule.

Again, not advice, just a couple things that you might want to look into further.

6. I will definitely consult with my dermatologist re: your information.

Thanks much!

7. Let me know what they say/how it turns out.

Most docs don't like the natural/herbal stuff. I'd like to hear their take on it.

3. I probably wouldn't even go out

I have social anxiety so I use a lot of things as excuses not to go out. If I had a rash and forced myself to go out, I'd be much more self conscious with a rash than without a rash and thus more anxiety anyway. Of course I am not crusing for hot women or men for that matter. I have a husband. I also have a not hot man and a woman who have expressed their attraction to me at work and I don't really need anymore attention.

4. Logical.

I have what could be rightly perceived as social anxiety too. But, on top of all else, I have to face my fears. Or I will remain single for ever. Which is likely inevitable, having a greater understanding of human nature and societal lore these days. 237 reasons can't be wrong and the main one I valued wasn't near the top of the list, proving I'm "out of place" in more ways than one.

Still, at least I can be proud in that any diseases I will get won't be caused by social situations. Ironic, but cool.
