Eczema or Hives/Atopic Dermatitis + Bronchiectasis

After Covid my skin worsened. I had never been properly diagnosed to determine whether I had eczema or psoriasis or both. After Covid I developed Crohn's disease, which is linked to both conditions as it is to bronchiectasis. My Crohn's is now stable on Skyrizi, a monoclonal antibody which also treats psoriasis -- it has thankfully cleared up my formerly-flaking/inflamed skin also.
These are all autoimmune conditions. I'm finding new manifestations of post-Covid autoimmune disease every year, unfortunately, bronchiectasis just being the latest. I now wonder, what organ(s) will it show up in next?

The question asked of us often in passing...."How are you".
My reply often before I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis was " I feel fine but who knows what might be lurking inside of me."
So I now know somewhat of what was lurking inside of me and wanting to come out....results of inflammation etc. Dry eyes, Eczema, Bronchiectasis all with a strong possibility of association with inflammation.
The big question for me...what caused my inflammation. I will probably never know for sure.
So, yes, wonder what is being affected by whatever we have been diagnosed with now that might also affect something else...... yet to flare up. Hopefully, nothing.
