Eczema Awareness Month
October is Eczema Awareness Month, a time to increase understanding of eczema and its impact on daily life.
More than 31 million people in the U.S. live with eczema. Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes symptoms such as dry skin, severe itch, rashes, scaly patches, blisters and skin infections. Beyond its visible symptoms, eczema can lead to poor sleep, anxiety and depression, and place significant strain on families everywhere. It is also closely linked to other health conditions including asthma, allergies and hay fever.
Each October, we invite the eczema community to join us as we #UnhideEczema to shine a light on both the visible and invisible struggles of living with this condition. Together we can challenge misconceptions, raise awareness of eczema’s real-life impact and drive progress toward better treatments, management and care.
