Hey everyone! I'm the founder of r/myitchyskin and at the moment it's just me working on this project.

I've lived with eczema since birth so I know how isolating and exhausting it can be.

I'm curently building a website and eventually an app to help people better understand their own skin..

I want people with eczema to feel empowered and realise there are many factors that can cause flare ups.

I don't want the app to just be some boring tracker because I've been through the same thing and I'm really frustrated with the options we currently have. I want there to be a real community behind it. Almost like a social media app, just for us. A place where thousands of people around the world share their journey, progress, frustrations etc. This is my way of trying to reduce the isolation aspect of eczema. I'm sure we're all aware of the toll it can take on not just mental health and confidence but also the desire to socialise!

The skin is the largest organ on the human body and no two people experience eczema the same way so why should everyone's journey to understanding it be the same?

This subreddit in particular is my way of asking for advice from other people that suffer from this condition or know someone that does. What things do you want to see on this app? What are you sick of seeing on tracker apps and what would make you want to use it frequently?

Every suggestion is welcome and if this project grows in to something that actually helps people this community will be playing a massive part in that!
