Story

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.

"Speaking to others that weren't medical professionals that understood our battles was a sanity saver". EOS member.

That is why I am fundraising for Eczema Outreach Support - to help children and young people with eczema. Please donate.
