Olympic gymnastics all-around champion Suni Lee is opening up about her longtime journey with eczema, an inflammatory skin condition also known as atopic dermatitis.Lee, 21, shared she was first diagnosed at a young age.'My skin was always super dry, super flaky. It was really uncomfortable because it was really itchy,' she said, speaking at a panel in partnership with Eli Lilly and Company, pharmaceutical company and health equity sponsor of Team USA.
Alexandra Golant, who was also part of the panel. She said Lee's experience is similar to that of many with the condition. 'Oftentimes there's a skin component — that can be redness, that can be flaking of the skin, that can be skin discomfort, and it's almost always accompanied by a really relentless itch that these patients suffer from,' Golant said on the panel. It can even cause skin lesions from getting stuck in what's called a 'scratch-itch cycle,' she said.
