Always associated with more or less intense itching, likely to reach all parts of the body, atopic eczema has consequences on daily life, morale, sleep, activities, social relations … In addition, this excessive skin dryness makes the skin permeable to all aggressions (pollens, dust, mites …) and is manifested by chronic plates, more or less thick and/or Lichenified. This state can also cause emotional sensitivity, stress, depressive risk and loss of self -esteem.
Facing this chronic inflammatory inflammatory disease of the skin, resulting in a significant alteration of quality of life, the Fabre Eczema Foundation stone has been working since 2004 to improve the quality of life of patients, and this at all ages. In addition to scientific research, it facilitates the alliance between patients and health professionals, develops the training of caregivers in therapeutic education and federates a community of experts. Because, very often, faced with this inflammation of the skin (even if it is benign), you feel helpless and we would like to understand to better treat it. And on the PierrefabreCzemafoundation.org site, the answers are clear and precise, without falling into medical jargon.
