Dealing with Eczema! :(

I really regret not paying attention to staying healthy when I was younger. Ever since I was little I was always eating junk foods and other delicious meals over and over again. I was pretty healthy as a kid but then when I first started college something happened. I had a reaction on my skin (mainly around my lips!) they would be so painful as my skin would flare up and then gets so itchy and dry. At first it wasn't as bad and I thought it was only a one time thing. What was worse was that I thought it was only a one time thing and that it would not happen again. I thought that it was mainly from the room temperature or sweating ever since we had to wear masks due to the corona virus. Now that it is happened again, it has become a bit worse since I cream I would always use to treat it now makes it worse. I realize that using that same cream for a long time can make it worse so I would only have to use it for a really short time if it appears. I am glad that I was able to figure out that my diet and some food addictions were the reason for this and I have been avoiding them now. It is really hard for me since all of my favorite kinds of food are the ones that I have to stop eating mostly from now on :( but I guess this is just the way it is now since it was mostly my own fault for not even caring for my well-being. So I hope that this experience will be helpful to those who have a really bad diet to start taking care of yourself more because not being able to eat all the tasty food you want without feeling any pain is really hard to get once your body gives up.
