On Friday 13 September, we hosted an Eczema Twitter Chat to mark World Atopic Eczema Day (14 Sept) and the start of National Eczema Week (15-22 Sept). We’re very pleased to report the chat was a great success!

In total, 20 talkhealth members, charities like the British Skin Foundation and Eczema Society, and many dermatology experts took part.

During the chat, we asked the following questions:

  • If you could only give one top tip to someone with #eczema what would it be?
  • What do you find is your main #eczema trigger?
  • When you get an #eczema flare up, what’s the first thing you do?
  • What top tip would you offer managing a social life with #eczema?
  • What advice would you offer about boosting self-esteem when experiencing #eczema flare ups?
  • How will your #eczema care routine change moving now from Summer to Winter?

Overall, we received an amazing 100 responses to our questions, with most using #talkeczema and #eczema on the day. We also reached an incredible 43,900 people across Twitter!
