We are parents, caregivers, and patients organized to advance research, better management options, and ultimately a cure for children with moderate to severe eczema. We host the award nominated "Eczema Breakthroughs" podcast, a monthly show on eczema science hosted by parents.

Stopping the itch-scratch cycle helps eczema. ♻️

Researchers studied mice with eczema-like inflammation and prevented half the mice from scratching.

➡️ They found that preventing scratching reduced redness, crusting, skin thickening, and inflammation. It also reduced signs of immune system over-reaction and inflammation that make eczema (and itching) worse. This means that scratching may actually keep eczema inflammation going (in mice at least).

As eczema parents, we know this research is hard to hear, but it’s important to understand.

We also know that asking your child to stop scratching is an impossible request, but keeping their fingers busy, nails short, and skin protected can really help.

Shoutout to our friends at Apogee! Last year, they turned holiday giving into real impact by fundraising for eczema research and helping families across the globe. 💙

If your company is looking for a way to give back this holiday season, there's no better way than by supporting children who are suffering from severe eczema.

Our goal is to find a cure for eczema by 2030, but we can't do it without your help.

The invisible burden of eczema is not just about the itch or the money parents spend trying to get rid of it.

It’s about the loneliness of a child when their eczema makes them feel isolated and estranged.

Today is World Eczema Day. The world knows about the itch of eczema, but probably not the costs of eczema.

Like for Heather and her daughter Savannah, whose eczema treatment costs totaled $18,500 last year. (Just for the successful ones.)

Unfortunately, Heather and Savannah's story isn't unique. Our global survey of caregivers found that:

➡️ 25% said they reduced spending on essentials like food or utilities to afford eczema treatments.
➡️ 1 in 5 used savings to cover non-prescription medical needs.
➡️ Families of children with severe AD are 3.5x more likely to experience significant financial worry.

Learn more about our work to prevent eczema so that families can spend money, resources, and time on the things that truly matter — instead of on lotions, injectables, and co-pays to find relief.

The impacts of eczema are not just on skin. They are also mental, emotional, and financial.

We surveyed caregivers to see how eczema impacted the big decisions and the finances in their families. Here's what they said.
