Eczema Awareness

Does your little one have eczema or another atopic condition such as hay fever, asthma or allergies?

If your answer is yes, you may want to listen in.

Did you know that in Australia, 1 in 3 children and over 1 million Australian’s have eczema? If this is you or your family, it’s good to know you are not alone.

Eczema, allergies and asthma are three common childhood conditions that are often linked together. Today we discuss eczema awareness with our special guest Steph Holdsworth from Allerchic.
