Why Eczema?
Now some people may be wondering why i’ve created a blog about a skin condition and it’s a fair question considering eczema isn’t exactly pretty. But that’s exactly why I think it needs to be talked about more! Some of my close friends who I’ve discussed the issue with didn’t even know it existed and yet there are millions of people from all over the world in varying climates that are affected.
Unfortunately, I am one of those people and it does really impact my day to day life. I sometimes feel as though I can’t wear certain clothes because it will show, or it hurts, itches and makes me uncomfortable while trying to work, which is quite distracting. It is also upsetting as I feel as though I can’t wear what I want because I am afraid of people noticing my eczema. Never would I have imagined that something that could be seen as just a rash, would impact my self-esteem and focus on tasks.
So, by being someone that is affected by this topic, it definitely interests me! Through doing my research online and trying various solutions, I can see how frustrating it can be to try and tame or understand the skin condition. This is another reason why eczema is so crazy to me. Nobody really knows why or how it comes about, so being someone who likes to know why or how things work, I obviously want to know more about my skin and the condition.
I want to look more into the various techniques people use, such as diet, creams, supplements, materials for clothes, to try and maintain clear skin for myself and share that knowledge with others. This is why this topic is important to me, because I know how it feels. The struggles, time and money that can go into trying to feel better about such a rogue skin condition, that just doesn’t make sense and can be so deflating. I’m ready to dive in.
