I am not entirely sure if I have grasped the idea of this task correctly but here is my attempt!
There are many social aspects to this condition. Firstly as it is predominantly a childhood condition (which can continue into adulthood) there are the social effects on both parents and children. Babies with the condition are tremendously uncomfortable and agitated and this is communicated through crying, which can be intense and continuous. This is obviously incredibly stressful for parents as they have to see their young in such discomfort and as well as the added difficulty of lack of sleep. This can put a great strain on life and relationships at home; including other children and the partnership of the parents. In terms of the parents, their stress may be carried with them to work and in the same fashion children – be they children with eczema or their siblings carry their stress and possible disturbed sleep to school.
Interactions with others at school and work are another social aspect of eczema. Many children are bullied by their peers and this has in cases continued into adulthood and the workplace. This may cause them to become socially isolated- an aspect of social health that is thought to be a risk factor for ill health.
Another aspect is the stigma associated with many skin conditions, due to a lack of education and understanding of them.
