Members of the eczema community will share their personalized "one thing," illustrating the diversity and complexity of this life-altering skin disease.

The National Eczema Association (NEA) is highlighting different aspects of living with eczema for its annual Eczema Awareness Month in October.

Themed "One Thing About Eczema," this year's campaign aims to raise awareness, build understanding, foster compassion, and reduce stigma surrounding eczema. Members of the eczema community will share their personalized "one thing," illustrating the diversity and complexity of this life-altering skin disease.

Built around a photographic series by Tori Soper and the personal stories of individuals living with eczema, the campaign will give the NEA community and the public meaningful opportunities to gain greater knowledge, insights and inspiration.
