I found the dry skin programme really useful, especially the section on the psychological impact of skin conditions and the triggers for it and information in relation to looking after it was very helpful indeed.

Mydryskin programme pulls together resources, remote access to experts and a support network of people with lives experiences. Flexible and there when you need it, this resource complements self care as well as professional specialist referrals if required. It's another useful tool for the patient and NHS toolkit.

The Mydryskin support programme was very useful in terms of the advice given by the team. The information given about allergy and triggers was also extremely useful in helping me avoid certain things. It also helped me change the way I deal with my dry skin which included tips on hygiene. The advice given on the types of creams and emollients was also very useful, especially as there are so many available on the market. Over all I would recommend the mydryskin support programme to any one with a skin issue.

I really appreciate the time that I have spent to improve my knowledge about my dry skin condition and how to maintain a good skincare in the future if I'm still dealing with this concern. Thank you to my talkHealth for this programme and for all the information that I have received, it really matters to me!

This programme is an excellent way to make patients learn how to deal with their skin condition. From how to avoid the triggers, through how to learn to live with the condition until how and with what to treat it, everything is covered. I'm very happy I was part of this programme.

It has been wonderful to realise that you are not on your own when suffering from dry skin. I have really enjoyed learning about other people's tips and tricks.

Emily (Nov 18) 4.0/5

I found the variety of topics really helpful and even included stuff I didn’t think about, that hadn’t actually crossed my mind like triggers and charities that could help. I search a few up and looked into a little bit further. I have definitely seen an improvement and found it really helpful. I highly recommend a programme by talkhealth and wish this was something the doctors should give out!

The mydryskin programme has helped me significantly! It has encouraged me to take more care of my dry skin and the correct ways to care for it. It has also helped me find triggers it and how I can avoid these! It has increased my confidence in knowing all about the condition and how I can personally deal with mine to help increase my confidence in day to day life ! Would totally recommend it!!
