Stories from Around the World
Meet Marjolaine
Meet Laura
Dance gave Laura a “can-do” attitude and taught her that, no matter what, “the show must go on”.
“You can have a really beautiful life even with [atopic] dermatitis.”
Meet Julia
Julia says her AD has helped her learn how to handle struggles in life as she focuses on her college education.
“AD had a positive effect on me; it helped me in many ways – not just with my skin, but also in dealing with struggles when things don’t go well.”
Meet África
África wrote a children’s book to help give words and meaning to her experience with AD.
“Eight years ago, 90% of my body was covered in eczema. When I met the doctor who helped me, it was like a miracle. He was the first doctor to tell me, ‘This is no way of living.’ I was feeling much better; my skin was much better.”
