Proper treatment for Eczema in infants and young children can help alleviate symptoms. Atopic eczema is a chronic skin disease that affects the bodies and minds of more than 230 million people worldwide. It’s often dismissed as “just a skin condition,” resulting in patients’ needs not being addressed in a supportive or timely manner.
The psychosocial impact of atopic eczema is particularly harmful to children and teens. For many, the emotional burden is an invisible struggle, highlighted in this year’s theme #IfYouOnlyKnew. In social media campaigns on World Atopic Eczema Day, you’ll hear from children and teens living with atopic eczema and the challenges they face daily.
Allergy & Asthma Network is raising awareness of atopic eczema by disseminating our patient education resources, including Ask the Allergist videos, website content, infographics and podcasts.
