Story
"Hey I'm Ocean 👋 I've suffered with eczema from a very young age. Recently my flare ups have become more regular. This is very distressing for me. My mom came across this charity, which sent me a fabulous welcome pack. With different ideas on how to cope. Also the idea to raise funds & awareness. I will be riding my bike 5k at the end of the month"
Eczema can be a debilitating condition affecting every minute of every day.
A child with eczema can spend hours every day treating their rough, inflamed skin, only to face unbearable itching, uncomfortable flare-ups, and even hospitalisations for infections. Theres endless sleepless nights, matched with unbearable days unable to concentrate, all compounded by the overwhelming isolation: being singled out just for looking different. Children as young as four have been bullied for their skin, significantly affecting their confidence and self-esteem, and heavily impacting their development into adulthood.
And it impacts the whole family, not just the child.
Eczema Outreach Support are there as a critical lifeline to help families.
