On National Eczema Week, starting on September 13 this year and going to September 19, the prevalence and the awareness of this disease is highlighted, with the mission to let the public know it’s more common than a rash to ignore.
For me, I wanted to raise how personal contact and shared experience have helped me way more than all the topical treatments.

@itch_n_bitch & our community is here for you! You no longer have to feel isolated / misunderstood. We get it! We are here and our inboxes are always open to help.
Like I always say “we can’t always control our eczema, but we can control how we react to it. That is our power. I have finally accepted my skin condition and realised it does not define me; it is merely a part of me” – @mackies_moments
Surround yourself with people who get it and you’ll never feel alone again.
Love itchy bish @Mackies_Moments💋
