For when you're not sure what you're looking at. We cover what eczema actually looks like, how it differs from psoriasis, what it looks like on different skin tones, and how doctors diagnose it.
For when you're reading the label and asking the right questions. Hydrocortisone safety. Topical steroid withdrawal. Phenoxyethanol. Colloidal oatmeal. The NEA Seal of Acceptance and what it actually means.
For when you're in an active flare and the moisturizer you've been using for two weeks isn't cutting it. We cover realistic timelines for different types of eczema treatment moisturizers, hydrocortisone, anti-inflammatory ingredients and what to expect when you try something new.
For parents. We know the late-night Googling feeling. Up to one in four children deal with eczema, and it can look frightening but it's almost always manageable. We cover what to do first, what's safe to use, when to call the pediatrician, and whether your child will outgrow it.
For people who already know they have eczema and want to understand it better. Triggers weather, stress, fabrics, foods. Why eczema gets worse in winter. Whether eczema can ever be cured. The honest answers, including the ones that aren't satisfying.
For people who've tried steroids and want out, or have never wanted to start. We cover what actually works without prescriptions, what the research says about natural ingredients, alternatives to Dupixent, and what Porphyridium is the red microalga that started this whole company.
