Agenda
TOPIC
Part 1: What Causes Eczema? Separating Fact from Fiction
Is eczema caused by certain foods, allergies or poor hygiene? Explore the truth behind common myths about what causes eczema and what triggers flare-ups, and understand the role of genetics, the skin barrier and environmental factors.
Part 2: Diagnosing Eczema - Do You Need an Allergy Test?
Does every child with eczema need an allergy test? Learn how eczema is diagnosed and uncover common misconceptions about allergy testing, food allergies and other tests used in assessing childhood eczema.
Part 3: Managing Eczema - What Really Works?
From prebiotics and moisturisers to topical steroids, there is no shortage of advice about how to manage eczema. Let us separate evidence-based treatments from common misconceptions and address concerns such as steroid phobia.
Part 4: Cultural Myths - Fact or Fiction?
Eczema is often surrounded by traditional beliefs, home remedies and advice passed down through generations. Let us explore some common cultural myths and practices and discover what the evidence really tells us.
