Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is not just a cosmetic disease.

• It is a chronic skin condition that causes patches of red, itchy, dry skin to appear on various parts of the body.
• When someone has moderate or severe eczema, it can cause intense pain, itchiness, and skin cracking. Eczema can flare periodically, especially when exposed to certain triggers such as cold or dry air and contact with irritants, including rough fabrics and chemicals such as perfumes or dyes.
• Moderate to severe eczema can interfere with everyday life, causing absences at work days and missed social activities. And, eczema patches on visible areas of the body, such as the face, neck, and hands may cause embarrassment.

Current treatments for eczema do not work well for everyone. That’s why local doctors are conducting research studies and evaluating study medications that are not available from regular doctors.

You may qualify for clinical trials. But don’t delay — space is limited!
