BACKTALK: Does Your Child Suffer From Eczema - Listen To This!
It's National Eczema Awareness Month and Janice interviewed the Dixon Family whose son Isaiah, has chronic atopic dermatitis, another name for eczema. Isaiah and his family were part of a new video series that highlights the challenges of severe eczema and offers advice for teen sufferers, called The Understand AD Squad, which tackles the everyday physical and emotional challenges faced by teens living with atopic dermatitis (AD) and their caregivers. You can check out the full series here.
The Dixon family teamed up with a dermatologist, psychotherapist, and an adult patient peer to help raise awareness and inspire kindness and empathy for teens battling atopic dermatitis alongside usable tools for other families who are managing the disease.
Throughout his life, Isaiah’s symptoms have caused frequent hospitalizations, school absences and emotional stress for him and his loved ones – even forcing him to miss out on team sports and playing outside with other kids, as sweat could trigger a skin flare-up that would make being active difficult and even painful.
There are 400,000 adolescents in the United States living with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe AD. Despite the disease prevalence, there remains a great amount of stigma and lack of knowledge around the disease. Teens living with a chronic illness like moderate-to-severe AD face unique challenges as they have to manage their disease on top of both the academic and social pressures.
According to one study,
· 39% reporter being bullied or teased about their AD at some time in their life
· 52% were depressed
· 50% were concerned about being seen in public
· 36% reported decreased self-confidence
