Suffering from bad skin is something that has troubled me for as long as I can remember.
My first few months studying at the University of Manchester in 2018 were the most dejected I have felt about having eczema, a common skin condition. The creams I had used for several years to stop itchy and cracked skin had stopped working.
My skin was full of small cracks which made it painful to move my fingers as the sharp cuts limited their mobility. There were large red rashes too.
