  1. Call to ITCHY ACTION - Fund Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)

    Call to ITCHY ACTION - Fund Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)

    The uncertainty surrounding steroid use, in the absence of updated guidelines or research, is causing considerable anxiety and guilt, exacerbating the already challenging experience of managing a chronic skin condition. Letโ€™s stand together and support each other in improving health outcomes for everyone affected by TSW and living with skin conditions.  The Itch N Bitch Community petition aims to address these issues directly. By raising awareness and advocating for clearer guidelines and support systems, the goal is to empower doctors to make informed decisions and provide patients with hope and healing options, alleviating unnecessary stress and guilt. โœ๐ŸปTopical Steroid Withdrawal needs funding allocation for 1). Research 2). Mental health 3). Training โ€จ โฐ Take 1 minute of your time to sign this Community TSW petition (UK Only) โฌ‡๏ธ https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/658458 ๐Ÿ”OR Search โ€œKatie Mackie Petitionโ€ on Google. The influx of messages from individuals who are scared and feel out of options is alarming and could potentially lead to further mental health issues if not addressed by the NHS/Government. Patients are losing trust, and more importantly, they are losing hope. Your support in spreading awareness and signing this petition would mean a lot. Please consider joining us in this crucial movement for informed care. Together, we can make a difference.Lots of love, ๐•‹๐•™๐•– ๐•€๐•ฅ๐•”๐•™๐•ช ๐”น๐•š๐•ฅ๐•”๐•™@mackies_moments  itch.n.btch.podcast@gmail.com, Katie Mackie Petition, Petition 658458, TSW Petition.

    Itch N Bitch X Westlab Salts - Mental health + Visual differences live chat

    Today's episode is a recording from a live video done on Instagram between โ Katie Mackie AKA @Mackies_Moments โ and Penny from โ @Westlabsaltsโ  talking all things MENTAL HEALTH + LIVING WITH VISUAL DIFFERENCES!! For those struggling, the service I mentioned Changing Faces FREE one-to-one sessions with a Wellbeing Practitioner for children and adults in the UK who have a condition, mark, or scar that affects their appearance (https://www.changingfaces.org.uk/adviceandsupport/adults). For those who don't know โฌ‡๏ธ The whole ethos behind @Itch_N_Bitch is starting conversations about our skin. One of the best ways to care for your eczema isnโ€™t your physical skincare routine. Itโ€™s your mental health care. Itโ€™s about knowing youโ€™re not alone. Reading and seeing other peopleโ€™s experiences of their skin and having that moment of WOW, I am not alone, and suddenly feeling this weird connection to a stranger online simply because they get it. What started off as an extension of a podcast page has flourished Into a gorgeous community of itchy people connecting over the mutual understanding of the mental health side of a skin condition. The main aim of Itch has always been to remind people YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It is gorgeous to see we are achieving our dreams with every share, we reach new people and get new messages that honestly make me cry from how excited people are seeing there is an ITCHY GANG and community side to something that can often make people feel soo alone and recluse.

    Dating, Intimacy & Sex (with a skin Condition).

In this episode, Katie & Daisy discuss the ways in which skin conditions not only affect mental health through anxiety and confidence at times but how it can also affect our physical health and actual ability to even get intimate at times.  The girls were lucky enough to be joined by Eczema and Skincare blogger Lydia Finnegan AKA @_lydsLife , Lydia's bubbly and open-minded personality made this tough topic easy to share! We all felt that Itch & Bitch was a safe space to share and hopefully make those suffering in silence feel less alone.
