There was a daunting, deafening silence as I awaited the doctor.
I was only 11 at the time.
I had been living with a horrible rash where my butt met my thigh.
My entire life up until this point I had eczema, but this felt different.
My entire world came to a crashing halt in that moment.
Why did my body feel as though it was failing me yet again?
Was having Eczema not enough?
You are going to become the strongest, most powerful woman you could ever imagine.
And yes, a large part of that is because of your skin.
Youre going to cultivate a community of friends and family that will hold you up.
The last 11 years have come with a plethora of trials and tribulations with my health.
Not everyone will understand.
At the end of the day, my Eczema and Psoriasis do not define me.
They are not my identity and they do not represent who Maddy Corbin is as a whole.
But they have played significant parts.
As hard as this journey has been I am forever grateful for my experience with my skin.
