Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema

[alfie]

Does anyone here have kids/loved ones who suffer from atopic dermatitis/eczema? If so, what do you feel about it? I've been depressed for 2 years now about my daughter's atopic dermatitis...

My mom had horrible eczema when she was alive. I have it badly as well. It used to kill me growing up and seeing my mom in pain from washing dishes or any basic cleaning. Even worse is we were really poor for a period of time and couldn't afford lotion tobsooth it. Since she had it though, she made it something normal for me and I never felt too bad about it because she helped me regularly treat the issue. Sometimes I honestly forget not everyone has it. I think framing it as okay was really important to me.
