I have really dry, sensitive skin. It sucked when I went to New Zealand and it was all really cold there and eczema was just like heeey and man it was so bad. I hardly got any sleep at night it was so tortuously itchy and painful. What you have, Rye, kinda sounds like dermatitis to me.

The most annoying thing about my skin is that it makes buying and using makeup/facial care products a pain in the ass. >:(
