In 2026, we’re not dealing with uncomfortability and symptoms and just dealing with it. We’re getting to the bottom of it. For a month and a half, my hands and scalp were covered in eczema, blisters, and rashes. Steroids did not work. So my dermatologist sent me to USC for an allergy panel. Five days of patch testing. The answer? Formaldehyde. It’s in everything. Hair products, makeup, body wash, hair extensions. And here’s the crazy part. I’ve been getting rashes on and off since I started wearing weaves when I was 20. But I never forsure knew what it was. My body, poor baby! has been asking me to pay attention for over a decade. I always half listened. This week I finally got the receipts. I've developed an allergy to an ingredient that's in not only some of my favorite products, but an ingredient these companies be putting in EVERYTHING. Your body knows. If something’s been telling you for years, advocate for yourself. Push for the specialist. And when the answer comes, listen!🤍 #skinallergy #eczema #formaldehydefree #blackhaircare #holistichealthcoach
