Story

he Eczema Society is a fantastic organisation that provides vital support to those living with eczema every day and funds essential research into new and better treatments.

Raising awareness is incredibly important—did you know that 1 in 10 adults in the UK live with eczema?

Eczema is far more than just a skin condition. It can be relentless, painful, exhausting, and often unbearable. For a long time, like many others, I didn’t fully understand the impact it could have.

I’ve had eczema most of my life, but things changed dramatically when I turned 25. Practically overnight, I was covered from head to toe. My skin was raw, burning, unbearably itchy, and incredibly sore.

Since then, I’ve tried countless treatments. Some helped manage the symptoms; others made things worse. Eczema now touches every part of my life—what I eat, what I wear, my stress levels, even the environment around me can trigger a flare-up.

It affects my day-to-day living, my work, and even simple things like meeting up with friends.

Just imagine what it would be like covered in eczema from head to toe?

Please consider supporting the Eczema Society. There’s still a long way to go in developing effective treatments, and your support could make a real difference for so many of us!
