    Living well with eczema

    It started with a red, scaly, bumpy, and itchy thing in the front of my neck, which appeared on one sunny day in July 2022. Little did I know that it would be the first glimpse of how my adult life with eczema would be. And, believe me, living well with eczema is easier said than done.
