@itchdoctor@washingtonpost I could follow even as a parent (not a doc). I replaced the word pain with “itch” to translate into my eczema lense. I always wondered if I could physically rattle my son’s limbs enough to disrupt itch signals. It wasn’t a bad idea but this is electronic comms within cells.
To treat children with a chronic disease like #eczema, you must treat the parent first! This is the message from Dr. Gary Soffer presented at #2023GFAPS … and why we launched our caregiver support program 4 years ago! Learn more here:

Science + Personal Connection::
From the book “Clean-The New Science of Skin” by James Hamblin says that breaking down the physical barrier (shaking hands) immediately makes other barriers more permeable. There aren’t words to describe the energy from sharing in person.
Phase 1 study in which researchers placed a beneficial bacteria (Staph hominis) on the skin of people with #eczema showed the therapy is safe, lowers staph aureus and improves eczema symptoms. 👏 Results shared @AADskin by Richard Gallo.

@IADPO Touching to hear from these brave folks from all over the globe! Treatments are out there but patients still need knowledge, access and affordability.
@eczemaresearch is proud to be a co-author on this new article in @JACIInPractice which states, "To be trustworthy, guidelines...should place patient & caregiver values & preferences as central to optimal decision-making."
