Bio
After spending 2.5 misdiagnosed with "eczema", I stumbled upon methylisothiazolinone allergy on social media. My skin took approximately a year to heal. I have since been raising awareness about Allergic Contact Dermatitis with educational products. I am an author of medical literacy resources at MedULingo.com as well as a former medical student from the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary (2018-2022). I left medical training after developing the severe dermatitis from being misdiagnosed. I am interested in continuing to share my story of developing and living with chemical/contact allergy.
