So, I've read that in certain individuals that eczema can be exacerbated by vaping. I've always suffered from contact dermatitis from laundry detergents and especially leather shoes, but since switching from smokes to vaping, it has been benign, and worth the trade off. I've developed a mild rash on my chest below my pectoral muscles and around my ears since starting vaping (typical break out spots for me). It could be attributed to the sweltering heat we are in as well, so I don't know. As I said, this is just a mild discomfort, and if I felt like getting up and doing it, I could use some of my cream I have to keep it under control, but it's not that bad and I forget about it often...nothing compared to if I wear leather treated with chromium (want to see a horrific rash that looks like 3rd degree burns anyone?). Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, I've considered straight VG, but it really limits me on all the great flavors out there and I hear that it's very thick and won't wick well with my clearomizers.

LOL good advice. I feel like I really can't drink anymore water, but I keep drinking it. I overheard my boss the other day say to someone else when passing the water cooler that was almost empty "someone's got freakin diabetes around here!" :facepalm:

But seriously, will being more hydrated help with eczema?
