We're absolutely delighted to officially launch #NationalEczemaWeek 2023. This year we are highlighting the impact of eczema, emphasising that it really is #MoreThanJustAnItch. Take a look at this year's full campaign film at the link in bio 🔗

With other charities & in collaboration with @SanofiUK, we've created a patient charter for people living with #eczema. At its launch today, we'll be speaking to parliamentarians about issues that matter to people with eczema & calling for better care 👉 bit.ly/3JJNHon

What does good #eczema care mean to you? We need your help! Please complete our short survey about your medical care for eczema 👉 bit.ly/3mKxORZ This global research initiative aims to measure how well health services meet the needs of people with eczema & caregivers.

As well as helping to prevent the spread of Covid-19, good ventilation can help #eczema. Not airing rooms properly gives eczema-triggering house dust mites ideal conditions in which to thrive, and can lead to mould growth. Open windows daily! 🌬️ 👉bit.ly/2SISkUt

People are finding it harder to get appointments with their GP & other healthcare professionals, & are turning to us for #eczema advice instead. It’s vital that we are there for them this Christmas & beyond. Support our Helpline here 👉justgiving.com/campaign/NESA…. Thank you! 🤗

There is no single trigger for #eczema. Eczema involves a complex interaction between the immune system, environment and genes, sometimes including a genetic mutation in the filaggrin protein. 🧬 Filaggrin info👉bit.ly/3oxEe9w Triggers webinar 👉bit.ly/30AX1Ym

Atopic #eczema is often thought of as a childhood condition. In reality, it affects people of all ages. Even if a child appears to ‘grow out of’ their eczema, it may return during teens or adulthood. Booklets on child, teen and adult eczema 👉bit.ly/3m2az48. 👶🧒🧑🧓
