Allergies

When I was a little girl, I wondered why my skin looked rough, and was constantly itchy. I envied my friends’ smooth skin that looked beautiful. I was very self conscious and so preferred wearing long sleeved sweaters and long dresses so that I could hide my skin. It was just as I became an adult that I got to understood that I have an allergic condition known as eczema. It did become better with time but I still have skin pigmentation that has persisted to date.
