Description
In this episode of the Skincredible podcast, Dr. Lisa Swanson sits down with Kynlie and her parents to share their powerful journey with eczema. Together, they open up about the daily challenges of managing Kynlie’s skin condition, the emotional impact on the entire family, and the long road of trial and error in search of relief.
They discuss the importance of finding the right medical support and reflect on the treatments that made a meaningful difference, and some that didn’t—including Dupixent, the Aron regimen, Elidel, Zoryve, and finally Opzelura—which Kynlie describes as “a miracle” and a true “game changer.”
With honesty and heart, the family shares their setbacks, breakthroughs, and hard-earned lessons, offering encouragement to others navigating similar struggles. Today, they’re celebrating more than clearer skin—they’re embracing a happier, more confident child who can show up as her authentic self, no longer held back by eczema.
