I think that's a great answer, Zen. I get bad eczema unless I am excessively careful, and I used to claw at my skin until it bled when I was angry and depressed. I no longer do that, much, but it is a struggle, and so is putting the creams on that I need to do to keep my skin healthy. My body has taken a heck of a lot of abuse from me too, in various ways.
Take care all,
Fuzzy
