Uncontrolled eczema has a huge impact on a child’s quality of life. However, when eczema is well-managed it is possible to limit its impact on day-to-day life.
Eczema affects around 20% of children in the UK and usually starts during the first six months. Get the latest information and advice on how to manage eczema for your baby.
The teen years can be challenging for young people and alongside hormonal changes, eczema can effect their sleep, relationships and mood.
Eczema is a common condition, therefore staff at schools should have awareness of the effects to ensure children don’t feel isolated or alienated from friendship groups.
