Childhood eczema

An increase in cases of childhood eczema in the past 12 months has been reported by 27 per cent of dermatologists, a new survey from the British Skin Foundation shows.

New statistics from the British Association of Dermatologists show that 52 per cent of carers of children with eczema believe they have no control over their child’s condition, 23 per cent never get a good night’s sleep and 15 per cent feel that the whole household is disrupted.
