Storyboard Text

- Oh good! So nothing too bad. That's good! I know since my mother had it sometimes it wasn't too painful for her, but what's it going to be like for Daisy?
- What Is Eczema?
- Well, it depends on what treatment is going to look like for her, and what her triggers are. Her "triggers" are what triggers her skin to flare up and become irritated. This can be a lot of different things like, skin care products, weather (hot or cold) wool clothing, stress, and fragranced laundry detergent.

- Oh, okay. So we're going to have to figure out what those triggers are that cause her flare-ups. How do we treat her skin for her eczema, though?
- Treatment
- For treatment, a typical skin care plan is bathing, applying moisturizer, and being gentle with her skin. I can also supply you AD medication for her eczema. For example, a corticosteroid, crisaborole ointment, pimecromilus cream, or coal tar.

- Okay, any of those creams or ointments would be amazing to have alongside consistently taking care of her skin. What would the medication specifically help with though?
- Why Treatment?
- Well, our skin is a protective barrier for our organs and everything else inside our bodies. When eczema develops. our skin barrier naturally decreases in effectiveness. A poor skin barrier can cause more water loss, which causes dryness of the skin.

- Why Treatment? 2
- The immune system also causes the reddening and itching symptoms because of the bacteria and allergens that break through the skin barrier. That is why treating eczema is important, since it cannot be completely cured.

- Thank you so much for all of this information and for the ointment that will help her alongside specific treatment!
- Ending
- I am now older, and still with eczema, as it was never something that could be cured. I've then realized that sugars effect my eczema a lot, so I have to be more careful with what I eat, and take care of my skin more than usual. Some days my flare-ups are still pretty bad, but other days they're pretty mediocre. I'm glad I got treatment when I did, so I was able to help my skin more.
