Scalp’s been the calmer one this week, hands still catching up.
Tracked it loosely – 2 flare-ups on the hands this week versus 5 last week, so that’s something. Scalp itching’s down to about once a day, usually right after washing, then it settles.
What changed: moisturizing right after the shower instead of waiting till I was dry, a dermatologist thing I’d been skipping for weeks lol. Also started keeping a sweater by the desk since the library AC (where I do job apps) gets aggressive.
Picked knitting back up too, mostly on days my hands were too irritated for typing. Not sure it helps the skin directly, but it keeps me from picking at it, which… counts for something.
Budget spreadsheet’s open again as well, mostly to see how much is going toward moisturizer lately.
Next week: trying twice a day instead of once, see if the hand numbers move at all.
