Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes recurrent and painful nodules, boils, abscesses and lesions of the skin.   Living with a chronic skin condition like HS is not just about managing physical symptoms and flare-ups. Living with a recurring, painful and sometimes visible condition can impact a person's emotions, social life and relationships. HS presents on the skin, but it can really take a toll on the whole body, emotionally and physically. There are a lot more nights in and a lot more ‘self-care.   In this podcast episode, Marni spoke with Kathryn Shusta, creator of KS and HS.    Kathryn started her HS advocacy work in 2020 by creating KS and HS, an Instagram page that raises awareness of HS and what it is like to live with a chronic illness. She was not diagnosed with HS until she was 17 years old, 7 years after her first HS flare. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence for people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Kathryn began her Instagram as an outlet for her feelings about HS. Since then, she has found advocating and helping others to be rewarding and inspiring. She uses her background is in social work and public administration to inform her practice in advocacy. She promotes information based on research and evidence-based best practices through the lens of her own HS experiences. For fun, Kathryn likes to crochet while watching her favourite movies and go on adventures in her hometown. Join us in this incredible episode as Kathryn uncovers the biggest misconceptions and shares first-hand experience with Hidradenitis Suppurativa.   Learn more about Kathryn Shusta here: Website: ⁠https://ksandhs.com/⁠ Instagram: @ksandhs   Resources: ⁠https://www.hs-foundation.org/⁠ ⁠https://www.nobsabouths.com/⁠ ⁠https://hsdisease.com/⁠   ----------------------------------- HEARD AN AD YOU LOVE THE SOUND OF? https://dermhealth.co/links/   This episode of "DermHealth.co" is proudly powered by Digital Health Co, your trusted partner for beautiful, functional websites the medical aesthetics and beauty industry! ⁠  

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and grows very quickly if left untreated. In this podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with a Melanoma Survivor, Amanda Keck. Amanda began going through the hurdles and treatment of stage 3 melanoma, just one month after the arrival of her fourth son. She faced another hurdle just 6 months after her diagnosis with the medical team deciding to stop her treatment, as unfortunately, her body is not responding the way they would have liked. With a lively home of 4 boys ages 8, 5, 3 and 9 months, Amanda continuously showed her family and loved ones just how much she can face each day, with hospital visits, treatments, tests, the emotional turmoil of her diagnosis, and becoming ill from the treatment itself putting her in emergency multiple times. As a result, she’s sadly had to spend precious time away from her husband and growing boys. Time won't stand still for families affected by melanoma - Neither will we. Join us as we speak with Amanda about her Melanoma Story.

Dry skin is a common health condition. It occurs when the skin lacks the oils and moisture it requires to stay healthy. Dry skin can be uncomfortable, itchy, red, and scaly. It can be a result of environmental variables such as chilly temperatures or dry air. It might also be brought on by medical diseases like diabetes, dehydration, and eczema. Although dry skin is usually temporary, there are types of dry skin that could last year-round. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will speak with Caylynn Jagga Dermal Clinician, at Skinfluence Clinic, about various medical dry skin conditions. Caylynn is a Dermal Clinician, with a degree in Bachelor in Dermal Science and post-graduate studies in Skin Cancer.

Because lips don't have any oil glands, their skin is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of the body. They run the danger of getting dry and chapped as a result. Lips are more exposed to the elements than the rest of the body and can develop chapped skin through exposure to the sun, dry air, or extreme cold. Many of us encounter chapped lips in the winter, which are inflamed, dry, and peeling lips brought on by disruption of the outer skin layer. Cheilitis, the medical term for chapped lips, can result from exposure to an allergen or a medical condition. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Julia Rhodes,  award-winning Melbourne-based dermatologist and the founder of Spotlight on Skin. She is passionate about demystifying the confusing world of skincare by providing evidence-based, unbiased information so that you can make informed decisions when it comes to your skin.

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.

Dry skin is an uncomfortable condition marked by scaling, itching, and cracking. It can occur for a variety of reasons.    You might have naturally dry skin. But even if your skin tends to be oily, you can develop dry skin from time to time. Dry skin can affect any part of your body. It commonly affects hands, arms, and legs. The general cause of itchy, dry skin might seem like a no-brainer: It's a lack of moisture. But where does that lack of moisture come from?    That’s what we’ll learn in this podcast episode with Dr Ryan De Cruz. Dr Ryan De Cruz, is a Specialist Dermatologist – Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatologists (FACD) He completed his medical degree at The University of Melbourne, where he graduated with Honours. He was awarded the Australasian College of Dermatologists’ Hermann Lawrence Prize in Dermatology and completed a Bachelor of Medical Science in hair disorders.

You may suspect you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin, but do you really know your skin? Your skin is the window to your body that reveals the stories of your life. From acne breakouts during your teenage years to the radiant glow of pregnancy and the sunspots of ageing, both your age and your health are reflected in your skin. Skin is the body’s largest organ. When healthy, its layers work hard to protect us. But when it’s compromised, the skin’s ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.   In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Miriam Thom, founder of Club Psora.   Miriam was living in New York and working as a filmmaker when she experienced her first severe psoriasis outbreak, just shy of her 30th birthday. Her year-long journey into self-healing ultimately led to remission and a career refocus in wellness. In 2019 she received her 200-hour teacher training through NYC’s Sky Ting Yoga, her teaching style informed by traditional vinyasa, TCM, meditation, embodiment and stress-management techniques.   She founded Club Psora for the skin-sensitive community -- to provide for others what had been missing for her: a safe container offering access to specialists, resources, personal stories and community discourse. She is led by her fascination with pathologies and the narratives that affect them. She seeks to uncover how a deeper understanding of self can lead to a healthier existence.   Don't miss this incredible episode as Marni and Miriam talk everything about skin health!   Learn more about Miriam Thom here: Website: https://www.clubpsora.com/ Instagram: @clubpsora   Be sure to subscribe to the podcast!

Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) is a skin condition characterised by a dark, noncancerous skin patch (nevus) that is composed of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. It is present from birth (congenital) or is noticeable soon after birth. The nevus may be small in infants, but it will usually grow at the same rate the body grows.   People with congenital melanocytic nevus may have more than one nevus (plural: nevi). The other nevi are often smaller than the giant nevus.   In this week's podcast episode, Marni travels virtually to the UK, to speak with Cheryl Shaw- a Mum, Model, Diversity Advocate and living with CMN. Cheryl was born with giant congenital melanocytic naevus, a rare skin condition that causes large moles to appear all over the body.   CMN affected most of her life growing up. But now, she is on her journey of embracing her skin condition and helping others to also embrace their difference.   Don't miss this inspiring episode as Cheryl shares her story of acceptance, self-love and empowerment.   Learn more about Cheryl Shaw here: Instagram:  @____chezza____ Resources Mentioned: https://www.caringmattersnow.co.uk/   Be sure to subscribe to the podcast!

When filling out official documents, you are often asked to provide your name, birth date, and sex or gender. But have you ever been asked to provide your sex and your gender?    Most people use sexuality to refer to the gender(s) to which they are attracted. However, sexuality means different things to different people. A person’s sex, as determined by his or her biology, does not always correspond with their gender; therefore, the terms “sex” and “gender” are not interchangeable.    In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Riki Lane, an amazing researcher with expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods in the areas of sociology of health, science and gender, sex and sexuality.    Dr Riki Lane is a Research Fellow at the Department of General Practice since 2011, undertaking qualitative and ethnographic research studies into models of primary health care. He is also a Project/Research Worker at the Monash Health Gender Clinic.    Their Gender Clinic work includes: researching ways to improve health care for trans and gender diverse (TGD) people; facilitating consumer and community participation; and developing and delivery of education in TGD affirmative health care practice.    Don't miss this episode as we talk about inclusion, gender diversity, identity and language.    Learn more about Riki Lane here:  Monash University: https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/riki-lane  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/riki-lane-a059733/    Be sure to subscribe to the podcast!

April is Rosacea Awareness Month.  According to the National Rosacea Society, the goal of Rosacea Awareness Month is to spread public education on this skin condition so that more people who may have rosacea seek medical help before it gets worse, and so those whose lives are affected can find greater public acceptance and understanding.   Research suggests that many people with rosacea may not be reconsulting with a healthcare professional after losing faith due to previous negative experiences with prescribed medications or even their dermatologist. As a result, many are left to adopt short-term approaches to treatment, choosing to self-treat with over-the-counter skin care products when flare-ups occur, rather than seeking advice from medical professionals.   As part of our ongoing commitment to raising awareness of rosacea and the hidden burden of this skin condition, Marni will be speaking with not just one— but two incredible rosacea advocates. Bethany Barnes and Kathryn Lock of The Rosy Club.   Kathryn and Bethany are the founding members of The Rosy Club. It is a skin-positive and rosacea-awareness Instagram page that aims to inspire everyone and anyone to love the skin they’re in.   Join us in this week's amazing episode as it's the perfect opportunity to build on the momentum and encourage even more people with rosacea to find their voice and share their experiences.   Learn more about Bethany Barnes and Kathryn Lock here: @the.rosy.club @_bethany_barnes @___k_a_t_h_r_y_n___   Be sure to subscribe to the podcast!

The lymphatic system consists of many tiny channels throughout the body called lymph vessels or lymphatics. Like blood vessels, these join together to form larger channels. The lymphatic system carries lymph, a colourless, watery fluid that contains lymphocytes – a type of white blood cell.   Lymphoedema is the swelling of part or parts of the body that occurs when the lymphatic system is not working properly.   Swelling associated with lymphedema can occur anywhere in the body, including the arms, legs, genitals, face, neck, chest wall, and oral cavity.   In this week's podcast episode, Marni travels virtually to London to speak with Nicole Faccio, podcast host and a lymphoedema patient and advocate.   Nicole was born with Primary Lymphoedema and unlike many people, is visible at birth mostly in her left arm. Her Lymphoedema is known as Milroy's Disease and it is categorised by significant congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Nicole has lymphoedema swelling in most of her body, including both legs, left arm, abdomen, parts of her back, face and internal lymphatic masses as well. For the most part, she lived a normal life - went to a regular school, graduated with an Engineering degree and moved to New York City to pursue a career in Tech, and most recently moved to London in pursuit of her dream job. Nicole has adjusted her life around the needs of lymphoedema and decided that the only way she would be able to have a long functional life was not to fight against it but with it.   Don't miss this incredible episode as Nicole shares her story with lymphoedema and living her life normally- with adjustments.   Learn more about Nicole Faccio here: Instagram: @facciolita Podcast: @normaladjustments https://anchor.fm/normaladjustments   Be sure to subscribe to the podcast!

Some people are more sensitive to natural food chemicals and find when they eat large amounts of them, they experience distressing symptoms. The most common natural food chemicals that can cause unpleasant symptoms include salicylates, amines, and glutamate. Chemicals are found everywhere in nature, including in the food we eat and the water we drink. Some of these, like vitamins, contribute to maintaining good health, while others increase aroma and flavour and make food enjoyable.   How much you can tolerate will vary depending on how sensitive you are. Some people have a much lower tolerance threshold than others and will experience a reaction to smaller amounts. Others though, will find that levels build up over a few days before their tolerance threshold is breached and they experience symptoms. Chronic or recurrent symptoms can occur when small amounts of high-chemical foods are eaten regularly. When this happens levels build up in your system gradually and specific triggers are not obvious.   In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Ashli Templer, founder of Pep Creative, skincare brand Yours Only® and podcast Allergy Proof™.   Ash has been dealing with pesky intolerances and skin conditions since day dot, as well as Hashimoto's disease. In 2018 after discovering she has a food chemical intolerance and was unable to find any products that were skin, body and bathroom-approved, Yours Only® was born. A series of all-system skincare designed with allergies, intolerances, skin conditions and auto-immune diseases in mind, dressed in packaging that looks good enough for a #shelfie. Yours Only® seeks to help and inspire others to look after their bodies, with a % of the profit from each bottle sold going towards allergy research at RPAH Hospital, Sydney. On her mission to open the conversation, Ash then developed Allergy Proof™, a podcast dedicated to helping hard-working women with health issues get through life.   Don't miss this episode as Ash talks about the common misconceptions in allergies, topical skincare and food chemical intolerance.

Good vibes only and positivity is a concept where people believe in keeping only the positive and rejecting any negative thoughts and notions. This approach also believes that you’re in control of your body and what happens to you and that you can simply remove yourself from negative situations. You’re to blame if you stay in the negative situation or thoughts, and you’re to blame for bringing up negativity. It is the stigma that bad feelings are well, bad! Having unrealistic hopes is self-destructive, as you are putting mental and emotional energy into making it happen, and are likely to be disappointed when you fail to reach your goal.
