What to track for eczema
- Itch, sleep loss, and visible extent — not only “bad day.”
- Topicals and showers — confounders for food-only theories.
- Meals from 24–72 hours before spikes when testing diet hypotheses.

Frequently asked questions
Should I photograph my eczema?
Photos help you and your clinician see change over time — lighting consistency matters more than perfect images.
Can tracking cure eczema?
No. It helps you identify triggers and treatment responses; medical care still leads diagnosis and prescriptions.
Is food always the trigger?
No — environment, stress, products, and infection matter. Food tracking is one investigative layer.
What is Flaky?
A lightweight eczema journaling approach (and apps in that style) prioritizes quick notes over heavy metrics.
