EP #180 The mental health impact of skin rashes, dermatitis and acne with Sheradyn Dekker

Skin Deep: How Rashes, Acne, and Dermatitis Impact Mental Health and Confidence in Women Let’s talk about what no one’s talking about—the emotional toll our skin can take on us. In this episode, we’re getting real about the mental health impact of skin conditions like acne, rashes, and peri-oral dermatitis, especially for women navigating these challenges well beyond their teenage years. (Yes, adult acne is very real—and I’m living proof!) We’ll uncover the hidden triggers behind these skin issues, from hormone shifts and gut imbalances to skincare products and environmental stressors. You’ll also hear why conditions like SIBO often show up on your face before your lab results, and how functional testing can help you finally connect the dots. Whether you’ve struggled with self-esteem, social anxiety, or just feel tired of covering up, this episode dives beneath the surface—literally and emotionally. Because when your skin suffers, your confidence often does too—and it’s time we started talking about it.
