290: Will THIS Help Your Skin Rash (Or Make It Worse)? - a podcast by Jennifer Fugo, CNS, MS, Skin Rash Expert

If you’ve ever experienced the frustration or disappointment after trying so many different things you’ve seen people post about online that has helped them – only to not get better or get worse…

This episode is for you.

I’ve been in your shoes when I was struggling with dyshidrotic eczema back in 2016.

After months of trying everything under the sun that I read about online without getting any relief (except from using topical steroids), my enduring skin rash felt like a huge sign of doom.

I didn’t understand why things people swore made their skin quickly improve only made my hands worse.

A few weeks ago, someone in my community asked me if there was a way to trust so many stories of healing online.

They couldn’t understand why various suggestions never seemed to work for them.

So I shared my thoughts over on Instagram and received such an incredible response that I figured I should share it here too!

Before you assume that you’re broken or curse, this is what you need to know…

In this episode:

• Why what works for others might make your skin worse
• Understanding what a “sample size” is
• Two reasons I don’t share what healed my dyshidrotic eczema
• Does everyone with the same diagnosis have the SAME root causes?
• If you’re looking for “the missing piece to your case”…

Quotes:

There’s so much variability between people who share the same exact diagnosis, it’s impossible to expect what worked for one will work for everyone.

Be cautious of falling into the mindset of thinking that there’s just ONE thing that you’re missing so maybe THIS person has your missing piece.
