I feel for you I can’t wear any new clothes at all I wear big baggy. Clothes I have contact dermatitis I can’t even find hair color that I need lol.
I totally relate to trying to exercise. I am getting so flabby as I can't even go for a quick walk as I have wet eczema in my groin along with infection. So painful and uncomfortable.
