my son’s room has been really dry lately. so we got a humidifer for it, running it every night for 8 days now. his arms look worse since we started though. same with the backs of his knees. not better at all. I thought dry air was supposed to help with this. so it threw me off. we keep it on the setting the box recommended (not maxed out or anything). already checked the tank for mold too, nothing there. he’s up in the middle of the night most nights now. I’m running on fumes at work. does anyone else have a humidifier make things worse before it got better, or is this just a flare that happened to line up with the timing?
does a humidifier ever backfire?

how long was he flaring before you started the humidifier, or did it start right after?

it started right after, he’d been clear for 2 weeks before we set it up

might be the mist sitting on his skin, not the dry air, worth moving it back 2 feet or so

mine did the exact same thing for 6 days

are you using tap water or distilled?

if it was tap water, mineral dust from the mist lands right on the skin and irritates more than dry air does, switching to distilled cleared it up for us in about 2 weeks
