Perfect for Eczema/Acne flare ups

I found these at Walmart and instantly knew these would work, as I have eczema that flares up with acne. And using eczema cream would improve it. But slightly because I would still be tempted to touch the areas.The first night I used them. I did something wrong as they didn't stick to my skin and they were lifting in some spots. Even one fell off completely in the middle of the night.I left what remained on for another hour upon waking up. I could already see improvement.2nd night. I cleaned my face with a soap cleanser. Let it dry completely. Absolutely NO lotion. (You can do lotion in the morning) Cut out the sections I needed. Put them on and they stuck so much better. And they are sheer. I would be comfortable enough to wear this out in public. 2nd night I wore them for approx 12 hours.However I saw a review where someone said they can't wear make up with these on. The package doesn't say this is something you could do. They are thick and would be hugely noticeable with make up on. Plus I feel the make up wouldn't sit right on the patches.2nd treatment and my spots look SO much better! I really wished I had taken a before photo. But I am so ashamed of how the areas looked. Plus I'm a picker and it's all me of why they looked horrendous. They were bright red flared spots. Now they are a soft pink. That I know if I wore make up. I wouldn't need to layer foundation and concealer to hide those areas. I have uploaded how they look after 2nd treatment. I have two spots above my eyebrows and 2 spots on each side of my mouth. The lower ones looked the absolute worse as those were easier to pick at. However when I have these flare ups, make up always seems to make them worse. I prefer to not wear make up as it creates a vicious cycle.These patches encourage you to not pick. My hand still drifts to my face but the patches prevent me from messing with those areas.I am incredibly pleased with this product! And am eager to try it when those spots start to form, to see how it manages before it gets out of control.When I take the patches off, I can see some whiteheads sitting at the top that I clean off with tweezers gently and toilet paper. And then I treat the spots with my eczema cream.I am literally sold! And will be picking up more from Walmart. If you can find them, they are in the $3 range at the store.I wished I had found these years ago. It would have saved my face from scaring and the eternal picking.Update : I tried these on a newly formed pimple and it was gone the next day! However, the spots on my cheeks seem to go down but leaving it off until bedtime, those spots start to bump out again. So my plan is when I take them off, let my skin breathe for about an hour and then do another patch treatment. I will update this as I go along.I also noticed a newly formed bump on the right that will definitely turn into a problem. The patch has not pulled anything from it.I also noticed if I use acne pads to clean my face, the patches will not stay on. If I use a soap based cleanser, they stay on.
