Living with an Allergy to Smells

If you’re relatively alike to me you may be getting spammed, and I’m sorry. I have an allergy to smells. I get rashes/eczema flares. They are t as bad as some peoples but they can hurt. The allergy is in my DNA and they say there’s no cure. I will have to live in this body forever and Stacked with my other illnesses, it’s getting exhausting. But it’s not that bad, I can use all scent free products and moisturize regularly to get minimal rashes. So I guess complaining isn’t super warranted, but I wish I had normal skin, I could use nice smelling soaps and lotions…be near scented candles and incense. But as of now, I can’t do those things unless I want to itch. And there’s no real cure. I’m stuck inside broken skin.
