National Eczema Week is recognized every year to bring awareness to the challenges patients with eczema face and to highlight new treatment advancements. This year, National Eczema Week takes place from September 14th to the 21st. According to the National Eczema Association, 31 million people in the US live with eczema and 55% of adults with eczema report inadequate disease control.1
During National Eczema Week and all times throughout the year, clinicians can help patients understand their specific type of eczema and available treatments. Patients may experience atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, neurodermatitis, nummular eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, or stasis dermatitis.
