NEA posed the question,

“What Should every Eczema Patient Know?”,

JW That not all treatments work for everyone.


AG Eczema patients should know side effects of all treatments and what factors can trigger eczema flare-ups (stress, diet, etc).

JB That steroid creams aren't always the solution.

KS You are not alone.

CZ It’s hard but there is always hope and keep trying.

SK That open skin breaks the barrier between you and the rest of the world.
