About this episode

What happens when a skin condition threatens to take away the activity that makes you feel most like yourself? Lifelong competitive swimmer and International Topical Steroid Awareness Network ( ITSAN ) founder Kelly Palace joins host Dylan Marron to share how eczema and topical steroid withdrawal changed her relationship with the water. She opens up about swimming through the pain of cracked infection-prone skin, and the periods when she had to step away from the sport altogether. Kelly also reflects on finding her way back to the pool, setting boundaries around what her body could handle, and becoming a stronger, faster swimmer in her 60s.
