Faces of Dry Skin Conditions: Real Life Stories from Stephanie, Farah, Carly and Georgia

There has been a stigma attached to skin conditions for centuries.

Those who have skin conditions have not only to cope with the effects of their diagnosis but also the reaction of others to their condition.

In this week's podcast episode, we will be talking about not just one, but three different dry skin conditions that affect millions of people's lives.

Stephanie Shepherd of Cyapsoriasis: Stephanie is living with psoriasis for 14 years now. She runs an Instagram and a YouTube channel which both raise psoriasis awareness, through sharing her story and other people's too. She strongly believes in natural healing, through diet and lifestyle changes, because that’s when she had seen the best results for her skin.

Farah Khaleck is a motivational speaker and scleroderma ambassador. Farah was just 17 years old when she began experiencing symptoms and early signs of scleroderma. Since then, she has braved her situation to advocate and voice herself as a strong and empowered woman. Farah sees scleroderma as another challenge and has managed to live with it to her advantage.

Carly Findlay OAM is an award-winning writer, speaker and appearance activist living with Ichthyosis.  She works part-time at Melbourne Fringe as their Access and Inclusion Coordinator. She writes on disability issues for publications including ABC, Daily Life and SBS . Carly has written her first book – a memoir called Say Hello, and is editing Growing Up Disabled in Australia.
