Learn more about why eczema representation (and support) is important, according to a woman of color with eczema.
As a Black woman living with eczema, Raelle has had a lot of candid discussions to get to where she is now—that is, confident in her skin. To continue to foster those honest conversations and inspire confidence among others living with eczema, she founded, a blog with a mission of increasing online representation of eczema among people of color.
Although her friends and family supported her as much as they could, they could never truly understand what Raelle was going through—that's where the internet came through. Online, Raelle was able to see eczema representation on social media and through online resources, making her feel less isolated.
"My mindset surrounding eczema has changed tremendously," Raelle says."I see my eczema as a helper for me to be alerted that I need to pay attention to my health from the inside out or make some tweaks in my routine so that I can have a better quality of life now and in the future.
"Working with your doctor includes sharing facts about your symptoms, but it also has to be a conversation between two people who respect each other," Raelle says."Some doctors will welcome hearing your perspective and give you options surrounding your desires and those are the ones you want to stick with."
