Thanks so much for all this helpful information. I will check the New Zealand site and compare photos to my symptoms.
I had a biopsy a year ago from lesion on stomach that confirmed GD diagnosis. I know I have latex allergies and allergic to detergents but no other official diagnosis. Many fabrics irritate me especially underwire bras. I suspect my leg bumps could be flea related as I have cats although had apartment treated professionally and cats treated yet they are persistent pests.

Again appreciate all your insight.

Would you share your GD cycle pattern if you have one? It is interesting to compare what I dealt with compared to others and I'm sure others would be interested.

1st outbreak of GD- 1 year and the most severe
subsequent outbreaks for 4 years 6 months of activity and 6 months of dormancy and although miserable, the misery index was lower then with the first outbreak.
Now free of GD for almost 2 years due to fresh or frozen cilantro

With my ACD I have multiple fabric allergies which are related to rubber. You know you react to latex, an element in rubber, but there are many other rubber related allergens. I am not allergic to latex but to Mercaptobenzothiazole, MBT, an element in rubber used to synthesize materials like spandex, elastic, nylon, poly/cotton, rayon and of course pure rubber contains it although that is not a synthesized material. Safe fabrics for me are not a blend, like 100% cotton, 100% polyester, silk, bamboo and such. Even leather works for me because I am not allergic to tanning ingredients like formaldehyde.

I do wonder if your other locations with eczema symptom's is related to ACD. My 5 Day Extended Patch Test identified my allergens.
