• Friday, 23 July 2010

The National Eczema Society’s annual awareness week will be based on the theme of ‘Ditch the Itch’. If you are writing any features we have a variety of resources you may find useful;

‘Mum’s Survey’ by Stiefel, a GSK company, with the National Eczema Society . Just some of the results from research questioning over 300 mums with children with eczema found;

• One in six (15%) mums revealed that dealing with their child’s eczema had put them off having more children
• One in five (20%) mums say their child had been bullied because of their eczema
• 32% of mums admit the stress caused by their child’s eczema results in regular family arguments
• 37% of mums admit to feelings of helplessness, frustration and anger when dealing with their child’s eczema
• Full summary of the survey results available on request.
