✨ Treat Yo’ Self ✨ is the theme of this year’s Eczema Expo. In this episode, Lauren Hewett, the Marketing Director for the National Eczema Association, and Sarah Harris, writer, speaker and patient advocate, join to talk about what it means for people with eczema to treat themselves in their personal lives and what it will mean for them to be treated at Eczema Expo.

"I mean, I'm always itchy." Madalyn has chronic eczema, so it took some time for her to realize that the symptoms she was experiencing were not "just a really bad flare." She joins this episode to tell the story of how she found out she had a staph infection and what she had to do to treat it.
Dr. Lisa Swanson joins us to talk about why people with eczema are more prone to infections, the types of infections people with eczema get, what can be done to prevent infections and what to do if you think you might be getting a skin infection.
