Join Dr Artiene Tatian, dermatologist and Ms Melanie Funk to discuss the impact and burden of eczema on individuals and practical tips for managing patients with eczema. Hosted by Medcast medical adviser, Dr Kate Annear.

However, this belies the reality that for many sufferers, eczema can be a debilitating chronic condition. Ongoing management can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive, with patients and their families experiencing physical, mental, emotional, and financial burdens.
