Join pharmacist Jarrah Anderson as he sits down with Jack Steele, one-half of the comedy duo The Inspired Unemployed, to discuss a deeply personal yet widely relatable topic: living with eczema.

In this episode, Scratching the Surface: Jack Steele on Living with Eczema, Jack opens up about his childhood struggles with severe eczema and how it has shaped both his personal life and creative career.

Eczema affects millions of people worldwide, but despite its prevalence, there are still many misconceptions about the condition. Through candid conversation, Jack shares his insights into the emotional, psychological, and social challenges he faced growing up, and how he found ways to cope with flare-ups and the associated mental toll. This episode also highlights the importance of awareness and support systems in managing chronic conditions like eczema.

Whether you're living with eczema yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to gain a better understanding of what it means to live with this condition, this podcast offers an inspiring perspective and practical advice for navigating the complexities of eczema.
