writes:I have really bad skin. I don't mean acne or some dry skin, I actually mean eczema and chronic dry skin. On top of that I suffer from allergies and hay fever, so all year round I just have horrendous skin. I have rough hands, dry flaky nose and terrible skin on my legs. Besides that, I am actaully quite attractive, its just a shame that I come wrapped up in horrible skin. My question to everyone is, can you love someone with bad skin? Can you hold their rough horribel hands, and can you make love to someone who has bad skin?

 I am exactly the same. I have had really chronic terrible eczema, to the point where the sheets in the bed are covered with blood, I couldn't have showers, I didn't leave the house. As for the people commenting that there are worse things than eczema and 'a bit of dry skin', I don't agree - i suppose it depends on the severity. I would seriously rather almost anything than eczema (yes, I'm talking broken bones, flu, gastro - at least these things pass). Eczema is a chronic disease, there is no end in sight most of the time. You just feel totally depressed, I wanted to just cry every time i looked in the mirror. My skin especially on my face was always weeping and burning, I couldn't even kiss most of the time. I was in pain constantly, and just wanted to stay asleep all the time so I didn't have to be awake and feel it. But through it all, my boyfriend always was there for me and didn't care. Infact even my ex who turned out to be a bit of a dick was good about it. We rejoiced together on the good days, where my skin was better, and he held my hands to stop me scratching till i bled on the bad days. Now I'm on UV treatment, almost off steroids, and my skin is looking great. Now we remember back to the old days, and realise how strong we've become. I really hope that you find something to help your eczema and other allergies - i'm sure you've already found heaps of forums on the net, i know i found lots of good ideas and support there. Now I think about it, my boyfriend doesn't have great skin either, except he's got oily skin. And I don't even realise... so maybe we worry about it ourselves more than other people even see....
good luck!

 Course you can...... Just believe in yourself, you'll find love. You will. I'm not just saying, it really DID happened, not to me(i have baby skin), to one of my friend. He's a nice guy and very handsome too. One day he just went up to me and told me he was in love with this girl...... Imagine my suprise when i saw the girl.......... How could he had a crush on her? She has this face that reminds you of dried fish(i dont why i said that). But, they got together, and still is very happy together, now. All i'm saying is, maybe looks and outside is not that all important....... If you have a good heart someone, and i repeat, someone you really felt you and will love you for who you REALLY are............. Get it?

 There are people who have amputated limbs, deformities, blind, hearing impaired, misanthropic, and terminally ill people who find someone and fall in love. There is someone out there for you. I'm thinking that you are far more conscious of your skin condition than anyone else will be. Concentrate on your good parts. You said you're attractive? Focus on that!
