FlareClues

For eczema and chronic-skin sufferers

Find the hidden link between your flares.

Track what you eat, what you put on your skin, where you are, and how you feel. FlareClues hunts the hidden ingredient your flares share.

The game you keep losing

Eczema shows up. You try a cream. It calms down. A week later it pops up somewhere else. Repeat for years.

The options today are: ignore it, treat and hope, or pay £100 to £300 for an allergy test that may or may not point at the right thing.

There is no middle ground. No tool for the person who just wants to understand what is going on first.

How FlareClues works

Daily logging in seconds. A pattern engine that does the hard part.

  1. 1

    Log loosely

    Type "pizza" or scan a label. We fill in the typical ingredients so you do not have to. Itch level, body region, optional photo. Thirty seconds a day.

  2. 2

    Swipe past your products

    Shampoo, moisturiser, pills, the bar of soap at your in-laws. Tinder-style swipe deck so we know what touched your skin without you typing a thing.

  3. 3

    We hunt the cluster

    When your flares cluster, the engine looks at every input across those days and finds what they share. If nothing obvious lines up, it re-rolls the vague meals you logged with other likely ingredient guesses and tries again.

  4. 4

    Confirm it if you want to

    Once we have a short list of likely triggers, we can point you at a targeted allergy test. Cheaper than a blind one. Or stay free and just use the patterns.

Built honestly

Yours, on your phone

Correlations run on your device by default. You opt in if you want to pool data for population-level patterns. Off by default.

It tells you when it is guessing

Loose input means low-trust signals. The app shows you that, instead of pretending it knows.

Wellness, not a diagnosis

FlareClues surfaces patterns. It is not a doctor. For a real answer you still want a clinician and, often, a test.

Built by someone with the itch

I have mild eczema. It crops up, calms with creams, comes back somewhere else. I want a tool short of a £200 test. So I am making one.
