How many times have you heard this from others? How many times have you wished this would happen? Sadly, thinking #eczema will clear up on its own is a #myth.

It is essential to treat eczema itching and irritation to prevent serious complications. Ignoring the issue for too long can result in skin damage and painful bacterial infections that, in turn, can make the symptoms even more unbearable.

Eczema is not a mild itch that will disappear on its own. It should be treated as quickly as possible through medication, creams or lifestyle changes to ensure the itch-scratch-inflammation-infection cycle does not unfold.

How do you respond when people say this to you? Comment below 👇

Eczema management and self care is a crucial part of our everyday lives. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we find it all a bit overwhelming. Talking through this with each other can give each of us the motivation, tools and encouragement to take care of our own #eczema.

Our next #itchY support meeting is happening in a couple of weeks... Join us on Tuesday 28 March @ 7pm AEST / 8pm AEDT. Register via the link 👇

How do you care for eczema? Eczema presents itself in different ways depending on so many factors and, once you accept its existence, then comes the challenge of finding the most effective treatment for your skin. And what might work for one person may not work for another.

We asked our eczema community what tips they have to #CareForEczema, watch the short video below. Do you have tips to share? Comment below 👇

Please keep in mind our group guidelines: No advertising or promotion of specific medical professional, clinic or person and do not discourage others from following the advice from their treating health professional.

On this day 2020 (just before the world went into lockdown) we presented severe eczema to our federal leaders. Stay with us as we continue our advocacy for eczema in 2023.

Raising a child with eczema is challenging. But sending them off to daycare, pre-school or even big school presents a whole new range of challenges because flare ups can happen at the worst of times. How do you enlist the help of a teacher or educator to keep your child safe and healthy?

Here are three simple ideas.
1. Invite them into a conversation. Explain your child’s challenges and ask if you can work together to support your child at preschool, kindy or big school.
2. Stay in close communication. Let them know you are on their team and ask them to be on yours.
3. Get resources. Like Eczema Support Australia’s Eczema School Kit to develop a plan and help keep communication open and healthy between you and your child’s teacher or support person.
