Condition All Consuming

Caring for a child with eczema can become all-consuming 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.
