Language plays a powerful role in shaping how we see and understand eczema. The words we use can either help reduce stigma, or reinforce it. This Anti-Bullying Week, we’re encouraging everyone to think about the way we talk about eczema and the people who live with it. Below are some examples of positive, empowering language to use - and some common phrases to avoid that can unintentionally cause upset 👇

@EmmaC_TandA So very true. What different times we live in!
