As we continue on our journey for healthcare equality and accurate representation, Symptone wants to talk about widespread skin conditions that can affect anyone, including those in our community such as rosacea - is a common skin condition that often manifests differently in people with darker skin tones. While it's frequently associated with redness and flushing in fair skin, these symptoms can be less noticeable or absent in individuals with more melanin. This can lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.

Symptone aims to empower individuals with eczema, just like Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee, to live fulfilling lives without limitations. However, Suni Lee is more than just an Olympic gold medalist. She's a living testament to the power of human spirit. As she continues her journey with ezcema, she has shown remarkable courage and determination. Lee's eczema began in childhood, causing significant discomfort and itchiness. The condition has affected her confidence and self-esteem, particularly in the spotlight of her gymnastics career. However, with the help of medical professionals, Lee has developed a management plan to control her eczema flare-ups. This includes identifying triggers and using appropriate treatments. Lee's journey teaches us that it's okay to face setbacks, to ask for help, and to prioritize our health. Yet, it also reminds us of the strength within us to rise above challenges and achieve our goals.
