Study on Seborrheic Dermatitis, Dyshidrotic Eczema and Hand Eczema (SHED)

In 2023, the research team at the National Eczema Association (NEA) conducted an online survey to learn more about the eczema community’s experience with seborrheic dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema and hand eczema.

The purpose of this survey was to capture the lived experience and patient landscape for adult and pediatric eczema patients with a diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis, hand eczema and/or dyshidrotic eczema with the goal of helping NEA provide better resources and advocacy for the entire eczema community.
