I wanted to share our latest findings and results. Please see our dashboard here or http://eczema.openphr.org
The mission of this project is to aggregate the prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, and topical creams used to manage the eczema of people around the world.
Research has shown that many people experience environmental triggers to their eczema. Through the use of google data studio, we are looking to:
Find common environmental eczema triggers around the globe, and determine the most common solutions to these flare ups
Determine how skin type (i.e. dry, oily, combination skin types) plays a role in this discovery
Provide participants with ample information on the treatment options available to them to help manage their eczema
From the responses so far, we are seeing that:
About one third of the respondents are prescribed Triamcinolone. The next most popular prescription drug is Tacrolimus, which is a non-steroid ointment
The most popular over the counter body lotions are Eucerin and Cerave
We would love to learn about how you manage your eczema, and your contribution to this project can be very helpful for someone struggling to manage their eczema. As we collect more information, we can better understand what combination of treatments people are using to manage their eczema, and help you find what works best.
