Flare-ups After Shower

So I've been suffering only recently from flare-ups after showers and on certain areas (back thigh)
I'm really desperate because I've been trying a lot of products for eczema but nothing Is helping, these flareups never clear up or go away, they remain there but less and darker. is this even eczema? was I diagnosed correctly?

Try goat milk soap.

That's a great question @A MyEczemaTeam Member and can absolutely be the water depending on where you live. Glad you're getting testing done this week. Hope you get some news with an easy solution!

Yes I've been to several consultations with many doctors, I've been using hydrocortisone for years but it's not effective anymore like before. Also, i used to take really hot showers but I don't anymore, i take warm showers now

I feel like this only happens after spending more than 30 mins in the shower, which is something i don't understand. is it related to water? I'm testing this week

Great question! Have you consulted with a doctor yet? If it's happening solely after the showers, it could be due to the heat of the water, maybe?
