Eczema Stigma!
Vent about a time that you felt embarrassed, ashamed, or frustrated by other’s opinions and commentary on your skin!
A wound on my foot started a little bleeding and a friend noticed it. He exclaimed you are bleeding and went on and on about. I covered it up, but he still kept saying ugh you are bleeding
it is right.
Totally humiliating embarrassing i just wanted to disappear runaway from everything

Not really a vent, but it's frustrating trying to hide a breakout because you know people will look at you like you have a contagious disease.
I think that is definitely worthy of a vent! It is incredibly rude and frustrating when people treat those with eczema so poorly. Best, Sam S. (team member).
