Miserable this summer. I’ll never wear a swimsuit or shorts again. The scars are embarrassing. I get flare ups around anything that touches my skin especially around where my boots rub while I’m riding my horse and we won’t even talk about the areas that rub sitting in the saddle for 4 or 5 hrs. Yay me. I’m actually somewhat looking forward to fall. Never thought I’d ever say that.

And everything has them! I ended up last summer putting menstrual pads under my arms. It helped a bit.

I have been on Dupixent for almost a year. It has really helped but unfortunately I still get flares from heat and sun 🌞. I do my daily walks early in the morning and yardwork in the shade 😎. I know what you mean about seams!

I have noticed that during my flare all of the seams of my clothes are causing irritation. That has been interesting to deal with. I went ahead and ordered some friendly clothes if you will. Some cooling fabric things and bamboo viscose. Curious if it will make a difference bc I am hyper aware of all of my clothing seams right now and it is irritating.

My doctor seemed to suggest once the dupixent takes effect that I can enjoy the outdoors and sunshine again. It's a bummer. I love summer and being outside.

Yes, heat and sunshine bring on flares. I even find elastic waistbands cause me to break out. I'm indoors during the heat of the day unless I can find shade 😎. Don't swim anymore as arms and legs look so bad. I wear long sleeve shirts with uv protection a lot. Always have sunblock on my hands and exposed parts of arms and feet.
