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.
