In a recent webinar, we discussed ‘New Therapies for Atopic Eczema’ with a leading Australian dermatologist, Dr Gayle Ross. After the webinar, we had one more question to ask "Do I need to continue using topical creams, such as steroids and moisturisers, after starting on a new therapy such as PBS listed Rinvoq or Dupixent?" For the full webinar and the answer to this question and more go to eczema.support/webinar270722

Caring for a child with eczema can become all-consuming and overwhelming for some parents. When eczema is severe, parents can experience significant distress as they search for a cure to ease the seemingly relentless pain their child suffers through. And, in some cases, being an “eczema parent” can become a part of some mums’ or dads’ identity.

The family often suffers too, with exhausted and protective parents unable or unwilling to do much beyond their basic responsibilities and caring for their child.

In this online event, we will listen to advice from an understanding dermatologist, Dr Lauren Kunde and a leading parenting expert, Dr Justin Coulson PhD. Then join us as we share our experiences and support each other in this peer to peer support meeting.

It's on tonight. Your questions about new eczema therapies answered by an expert. Register now to access this webinar: eczema.support/27July22

Today marks the beginning of International Men's Health Week. Men often struggle to discuss personal health issues or reach out for support. We only have to look at our own statistics of members of Eczema Support Australia to see men are massively underrepresented in accessing our services. So we thank the men that do openly share their eczema journey with us - just like Scott.

It is important to care for the physical and psychological health of our men. Please encourage the men living with eczema in your community to connect with Eczema Support Australia.
