Got Itch? I Can Help.

Anyone who has woken in the night to an itchy rash would understand. Or perhaps you could not even fall asleep because the pain and inflammation in the skin was so bad.

Or perhaps you refused to wear certain types of clothing because the rash was so obvious that co-workers, friends and even complete strangers pointed out the fact that you had a rash, as if you were oblivious to the fact.

October is Eczema Awareness Month, and on Skin, Self and Everything Else, we explore:

• Brandon’s own patient journey with a new diagnosis
• His own feelings of humiliation, embarrassment and feeling like it might impact his chances in the world of dating
• What it feels like to be a patient in the same office where he lives and works each day
• The relief of knowing that there are safe treatment options like Nemluvio available to him as he sees those treatments already take effective after only one week
  

Dr. Turner takes a moment to talk about her hair stylist and his affiliation with America’s Sweetheart, the Netflix docuseries about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and then reassures everyone there is absolutely no stalking going on.

Brandon shares his vulnerability with feeling anxiety at an over-crowded mall, issues with body self-image and feeling “less”, but then has an epiphany as he is reminded that he has control over his own emotions. HE can decide. Bitter or better.

And the beautiful thing about each day is that we can all decide to start fresh.

To leave yesterday behind. To drop the baggage of anxiety, guilt, doubt or fear behind and take a step into a new day.

I hope you will listen to our latest episode 13, Nemluvio, Netflix and Choosing Nirvana on Skin, Self and Everything Else.
