A cup of coffee costs more than what the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invests in eczema research per person, per year.

Eczema research funding at NIH totals $66 million today, but that's only around $2.13 per affected American.

Right now, Congress is debating how much to fund NIH for Fiscal Year 2027, and federal investment in medical research is under scrutiny.

We need your help to urge lawmakers to support at least $51.3 billion in medical research funding for NIH in Fiscal Year 2027 and robust funding for eczema-related research across NIH.

Use our quick and easy action alert to ask your members of Congress to support stronger federal investment in eczema research: https://nationaleczema.quorum.us/campaign/161689/

Research shows atopic dermatitis (AD) affects sexual health across relationships, desire and sexual activity, and even people with mild eczema can be impacted.

The community most affected by this conversation isn't limited to any one group, though research also points to a higher prevalence of AD within the LGBTQ+ community.

Managing your eczema can reduce sexual health concerns. Yet emotional, cultural and social factors can make the topic difficult to raise, even with a provider who wants to help.

You don't have to navigate this alone. NEA is a community of people living with eczema, offering support that ranges from educational events to our eczema care Provider Finder — because your care should account for all of you, not just what's visible. Learn more at NationalEczema.org.

Does eczema keep you up at night? The itch, the discomfort, the cycle of scratching that starts right as you're trying to fall asleep.

Sleep disturbances affect an estimated 47% to 80% of children with atopic dermatitis, and 33% to 90% of adults.

Melatonin is often used to induce sleep. But emerging research is exploring whether melatonin can also reduce nighttime itching to help you stay asleep.

While some breeds are promoted as "hypoallergenic dogs", the truth is every dog, regardless of breed, has the potential to trigger allergies and eczema flares.

That doesn't mean a family with eczema can't find a dog that works for them. It means the search might look a little different — grounded in evidence, not marketing claims.

Dr. Ari Zelig, a board-certified allergist at McCulley Allergy, Sinus, & Asthma Centers in Germantown, TN, explores what to consider when choosing a dog if you or someone in your family lives with eczema. Read the full article: https://nationaleczema.org/blog/dogs-eczema/

If your child has ADHD and eczema, you may notice their ADHD can cause them to hyperfocus, and electronics are one place for that focus to land.

Giving a child a device can be a helpful distraction from scratching and other eczema symptoms, but too much screen time can affect other parts of their health and well-being.

While current American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines do not set specific screen time limits for kids, they do consider the quality of interactions with digital media. This depends on age, whether it’s educational content or if it’s co-viewed with a parent or guardian.

Jennifer Moyer Darr, an LCSW at National Jewish Health in Denver, shares her insights on screen time and other aspects of living with eczema and ADHD.
