September 14th is World Atopic Eczema Day

Patients are at the core of change in atopic eczema awareness and care. Working together with patient groups across the globe, we will rise up together for action on atopic eczema.

The 14th of September will mark the second World Atopic Eczema Day, and we’ll continue to organize, advocate, and share our stories year after year. This year, we are looking beneath the surface of atopic eczema and its impacts on life.

Join us this year in raising awareness for Atopic Eczema  - find tools and resources below.

Atopic eczema is one of the most prevalent skin diseases in the world and one of the most under-recognized. Atopic eczema is often dismissed as “just a skin condition,” and patients’ needs are not addressed in a supportive and timely manner.

The Atopic Eczema Community comes together on September 14th to raise awareness for the disease, to speak up about the burden it has on patients and caregivers, and to recognize the need for care and treatment that is reflective of the multi-dimensional nature of the disease.
