A new study of EU parents with children suffering from eczema demonstrates that it can have far reaching impacts. For children with moderate to severe eczema, the researchers found that the children missed out sometimes on sport or play activities, and that it can hurt their self-esteem and cause feelings of frustration and of "being different."
One parent was quoted in a sys-con.com article as saying:
"Eczema is far more than dry skin or a bit of an itch. Eczema can demand an all consuming lifestyle and coping techniques which need to be embraced by not only the sufferer, but their family as well. Only when people fully understand the far reaching impact of this relentlessly itchy, intolerable skin condition can we hope for better treatment and acceptance."
