Nineteen-year-old Alicja Stachurska created an Instagram account called malinka\_eczema to share her journey with eczema, hoping to raise awareness about the skin condition that has affected her life. On the page, she documents her struggles, including a particularly traumatic trip to the emergency room that nearly resulted in a sepsis diagnosis.
The young woman’s condition has led to several health complications, and her story highlights the often painful and isolating nature of living with eczema. Alicja’s account serves as both a personal diary and a platform to connect with others who are dealing with similar issues.
In response to a query from Clare FM, the HSE Midwest declined to comment on her case, citing a duty of confidentiality that prevents them from discussing individual patients.
Alicja described the hospital experience as incredibly traumatic, underscoring the emotional toll that such health challenges can take on a person. Despite the difficulties, her decision to share her journey online provides support to others facing similar challenges and raises awareness about eczema’s impact.
