==Social Impact==
==Social Impact==
Eczema often comes and goes in cycles, meaning that at some times of the year sufferers are able to feel normal, while at other times they will distance themselves from social contact. Sufferers with visible marks generally feel fine (physically) and can act normally, but when it is mentioned, they may become withdrawn and self-conscious. Since it is a condition made worse by scratching, a sufferer with highly visible sores aggravated by scratching often feels as if everyone is looking at the marks and that they are self-induced. Although scratching does give a sense of relief, it is usually a temporary solution and can lead to problems with constant scratching. Sufferers often shy away from scratching in public, but the solution is to scratch in privacy. In some cases, sufferers may hide visible patches of Eczema under articles of clothing, such as gloves or hats. These solutions may mask the visible signs, but can worsen the condition due to agitation by rubbing or sweating. In cases of children with eczema, visible scars or scratch marks can lead to suspicion of home abuse or self-mutilation, which causes possible peer rejection and may add to a general level of stress.

Overview

The quality of life of patients suffering from eczema can be tremendously affected, as the pruritus and consequent scratching can bring about sleep disturbance, daytime fatigue, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, headaches, and stunted growth. Ultimately, patients could develop poor self-esteem, embarrassment, suicidal ideation, and hence, an overall reduced social life.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
