Women, Eczema, and Empowered Care

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic skin condition that disproportionately affects women, impacting not only physical health but also emotional well-being, work productivity, and quality of life. Despite advances in treatment, many women experience delays in diagnosis, stigma, and challenges in accessing care.  These resources from AMWA, National Eczema Association (NEA), and Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) aim to enhance the management of chronic skin conditions and empower women with the knowledge and resources to thrive.
