During my toddler and early adolescence I had severe eczema and my mother had to wash my clothes everyday and throw out any kind of clothes because of them becoming so blooded after one day of wear. I was allergic to EVERYTHING you could imagine. I had to avoid anything that could trigger the flare ups. Most of my memories were of being in constant pain. Bullying became something I had to endure for years as well. Nobody really wanted to be my friend because of my appearance. I still remember being called a “Monster” as my classmates ran away from me after yelling it. I hated going to the hospital constantly. It became my second home. Doctors would immediately recognize me. “Ohh, you’re back again”….

I felt like a test subject, Being poked and prodded it. I was put on so many different medications that soon would affect me later in life. I had to be wrapped like a mummy, head to toe to keep my skin from bleeding and getting infected. While it helped, it didn’t stop me from scratching. I barely could go to the bathroom because of it. It burned and hurt so badly to pee that I stopped trying to go. I ended up getting a kidney infection. Because I would hold it for extended periods of time. I am doing a lot better now. With time my eczema faded, still get a few flares up on my feet and fingers whenever I feel stressed or ate something I shouldn’t have. The one thing I wished would go away is the hypopigmentation scars. Am 90% covered in these big patches that are noticeable. I get people asking and being insensitive about them and why I have them.

I am glad that there are people like you on YouTube talking about your experience and struggles. I feel less alone. ♥️
