A massive 8 million people in the UK have eczema, a condition that not only causes extreme itching and dry skin but can also impact sufferers' mental health.
@xandvt explains the common triggers for a flare up, as well as myth-busting the so-called ‘cures’.
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 👉 https://t.co/T7PJcoa6IK

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! 🌬️

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. 🧬

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.
