Itch N Bitch

Brain dump with unrelated pics 🧠♥️⬇️

Loss of control is one of the most common triggers for anxiety sufferers and sadly for us itchy people one of the biggest parts of our conditions is loss of control of our skin.

Yes, our skin can go through periods of looking amazing and glowy but this doesn’t mean our eczema is cured! It simply means we were lucky enough to get our skin under control for a while but the voice in our head is still whispering “this won’t last forever” and we start to worry a flare will erupt as soon as we allow ourselves to get comfortable in our unblemished skin.

I hope that you find yourself in a beautiful middle ground when it comes to your skin, a place where you no longer constantly worry about others seeing your skin instead you hope they say something so you can educate them. I have found myself in this weird place where what I once feared I love as I have this passion for educating others about how eczema is way more than just a rash.

I genuinely believe the more we show our skin conditions the more people will know what they are and then gradually fewer questions will be asked as they’ll already know what they are. Sixty percent of people in the UK currently have a skin condition or have previously had a skin condition – so hey guess what 𝙎𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙉𝙊𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙇! More people have them than don’t have them! #unhideeczema

My concluding thought for this brain dump is when it comes to eczema care personal contact and shared experience has helped me way more than all the topical treatments. Next time you’re flaring and notice it’s getting you down, try reaching out and asking for help instead of reaching for a new product. My DM’s & the @itch_n_bitch community is here for you.
