“My advice to anyone with eczema would be to find other people who are dealing with it. Find comfort in other people’s eczema stories. When my skin is not doing well, it helps to realize that I am not alone and that there are others who are struggling too.”
– advice from a teen in Toronto living with eczema
Although it’s common for individuals with eczema to feel isolated, this chronic inflammatory skin disease affects millions of people worldwide, impacting 10% of adults and 4-8% of children globally. To better understand how eczema affects people around the world, we spoke with several patients from different countries about their social interactions, treatment options and access to care.
This cover story for the National Eczema Association’s magazine, Eczema Matters, explores the cultural differences that eczema patients face, while highlighting the common experience of navigating a complex disease with all its comorbidities, stigmas and potentially expensive treatments.
