Ive had eczema all my life.
when you see their red, flared skin.
Life with eczema is hard, and there are so many aspects to it you wouldnt even think applied.
Oh, and me rolling butt naked all over a fur rug… turns out I was allergic.
This is hard mentally because there are lots of products out there promising a cure.
Growing up, I never had any friends with eczema.
Ill never forget when I was a lifeguard at university.
Im sure at some point weve all done something similar or pretended its sunburn or to avoid questioning.
This was when I started sharing my skin journey online.
But I want everyone to know its okay to ask for help.
Ive taken time off work as I couldnt straighten my fingers due to how cracked and dry they were.
Asking for help and being open about your skin is a vital step towards healing physically and mentally.
We cant always control our eczema, but we can control how we react to it.
That is our power.
Eczema is tough but so are you, lets unhide together.
You are not alone.
