Welcome to my new blog, dedicated to eczema and dark skin.

As a sufferer of eczema since birth I want to make others aware what it is like to live with this condition.

Granted it’s not serious, skin conditions don’t stop you from physically living a normal life. They don’t stop you eating, drinking, having a family but it can impact you in ways you don’t realise. It’s not all doom and gloom I am going to explain through personal experience and use my very many talents to speak with people with the same condition and how its effected them.

In this blog I’ll be talking about some misconceptions about eczema, skin care regimes, make up, emollients, steroids vs. natural treatments, lotions as well as what life has been like for me as black female with eczema.

I hope to relate to people out there with the same condition and also educate those who may have darker skin and can’t find information for their skin type.

Over the years I’ve come across a number of different remedies people have recommended. Although I feel like I’ve heard almost every suggestion at least twice already, I’m open to testing out products. In fact I aim to test a few for a trail period to let you know how I get on. So if there is anything you think I should try I’m all ears.

There’s a famous saying about black skin, that ‘black doesn’t crack’ but I’m here to tell you it does. And I’m living proof.

Welcome
