Living with a condition that has no ‘cure’ is difficult. Many people dream of finding that ‘one thing’ that will fix their eczema or prevent flare-ups but, the harsh reality is, it is a chronic and complex condition that is different for each individual. It is rare that ‘one thing’ is the answer.
Fortunately, medical researchers continue to strive for new treatments that provide relief from, what can be, an overwhelming experience. Be sure to ask your dermatologist or immunologist about potential options and feel free to seek guidance from organisations such as Eczema Support Australia.
Eczema Support Australia is committed to helping people living with eczema overcome
difficulties and thrive in their community. As part of that pledge, you can read an insight into emerging treatments that giving hope to many people living with eczema and their loved ones.

ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW ECZEMA TREATMENT LISTED ON THE PBS. Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, has a significant impact on quality of life. The condition causes physical discomfort, insomnia, emotional distress, depression, embarrassment, and social stigma. As a result, people often avoid work, social situations, and relationships.
We know that the last few years have been particularly challenging and that stressful circumstances can lead to more flare ups.
Therefore, the availability of a new treatment option for atopic dermatitis is timely and very welcomed by the community.
Eczema is a long term condition that requires long term support and treatment options. Speak with your medical specialist about your treatment options. Reach out to Eczema Support Australia for support if you are impacted. www.eczemasupport.org.au
