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. Let’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. ✍🏻Topical Steroid Withdrawal needs funding allocation for 1). Research 2). Mental health 3). Training 


⏰ Take 1 minute of your time to sign this Community TSW petition (UK Only) ⬇️ https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/658458 🔍OR Search “Katie Mackie Petition” 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, 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕀𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕪 𝔹𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙

itch.n.btch.podcast@gmail.com, Katie Mackie Petition, Petition 658458, TSW Petition.

Welcome to a special episode of the⁠ ⁠Itch N Bitch⁠⁠ podcast, recorded live at⁠ ⁠@Cetraben_UK's⁠⁠ Expert Skin Hydration Launch Event. I was delighted to be invited to help launch three new products: the Moisture Protect Body Wash, Moisturising Hand Balm, and Itch Relief Balm.

First ever live audience podcast!!!

In this episode, your itchy host,⁠ ⁠Katie⁠ Mackie⁠, is joined by TikTok star and beauty influencer, Rosie Daniels, AKA⁠ ⁠@RosieDaniels⁠⁠. Rosie, one-half of the dynamic duo behind⁠ ⁠@ItsRosieAndHarry ⁠⁠on TikTok shares her journey of living with Psoriasis. Taking us behind the scenes of her life, sharing the ups, downs, and everything in between when it comes to living with psoriasis. Discover what it's *really* like to navigate the daily challenges of this condition.

This is an episode filled with insights, empathy, and empowerment. Sharing while healing can be rather difficult, but by doing so, Rosie Daniels has helped so many other people feel normal just by seeing someone else who looks like them.

Questions asked to ROSIE;

1. When did you first notice you had psoriasis – how did that make you feel?

2. At what point did you decide to start sharing this journey online and why?

3. What have you done to find a solution?

4. How’s the journey been for you emotionally?

5. Has it stopped you from doing anything?

6. How has it impacted your self-confidence?

Plus, stay tuned for live audience questions, as we engage with our wonderful event attendees. Join us for a candid and empowering conversation about skin health, self-acceptance, and the power of sharing our experiences.

Today's episode is a recording from a live video done on Instagram between ⁠Katie Mackie AKA @Mackies_Moments ⁠and Penny from ⁠@Westlabsalts⁠ 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 ⬇️

The whole ethos behind @Itch_N_Bitch is starting conversations about our skin. One of the best ways to care for your eczema isn’t your physical skincare routine. It’s your mental health care. It’s about knowing you’re not alone. Reading and seeing other people’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.
