London Eczema Social for young people (18-30)
I couldn't find any eczema support groups or anything like that online, within London, so I'm making one.
Creating a group where you will be able to interact with other people with skin issues in a non-judgemental setting. Normal socialising can be daunting for myself and those who suffer from skin conditions so hopefully this will allow you to feel more at home.
The mental health statistics for eczema sufferers is rarely spoken about, which is why it's almost unbelievable that there are no support groups for it in London.
I say support group but really this is a social for fellow young people with skin issues. People with eczema and psoriasis are welcome, as well as anyone who is interested. Will most likely meet once a month or so. Talk about your skin condition if you want, or don't. Drink if you want, or don't. It's mainly about not feeling as if you are alone in this, which is an easy conclusion to come to.
A little about me: My name is Oliver, I'm 21 and have had the main trifecta of allergies, asthma and eczema for my whole life, I'm doing pretty well now due to medications and self experimentation but this condition is still an everyday battle.
