This National Eczema Week we are highlighting the impact of eczema, emphasising that it really is More Than “Just an Itch.”.
Sanofi has provided a financial grant enabling National Eczema Society to make this video, and has had no editorial input or control over the content or other outputs.
This National Eczema Week (9th to 16th September) we are raising awareness about eczema, a chronic skin condition that affects 8 million in the UK.
National Eczema Society wants to share with you personal stories to raise awareness about the psychological impact of eczema. It’s a reminder that eczema is not just a physical condition; it’s a complex journey that can affect self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being.
To launch National Eczema Week, we introduce our campaign video, More Than “Just an Itch”, where we hear from five individuals who courageously share their eczema stories, shedding light on the often-overlooked psychological toll eczema can take.
Through these stories, we hope to encourage open conversations about mental health and eczema.
More than “Just an Itch”
More Than “Just an Itch” is not just a campaign video; it’s a heartfelt exploration of the psychology behind eczema. We hope it gives people outside the eczema community the opportunity to walk in the shoes of those who bravely face this condition every day and showcases the strength, resilience, and hope that can be found amidst the challenges.
