The Unseen Itch: How Eczema Disrupts Daily Life in Singapore - A survey by Medical Channel Asia

This survey can be attempted by someone who is suffering from atopic dermatitis (eczema), or, a person who has a close relationship with someone who has eczema (e.g. living with, close friend, neighbours, colleagues, classmates etc).
This short survey explores how eczema, especially the symptom of chronic itch, affects daily life in Singapore. From sleep to work to social functions, the burden is often invisible, but very real.
Whether it is your own experience or that of someone close to you, the answers will help shed light on what living with eczema really feels like, and how it impacts quality of life.
All responses are anonymous. Some answers or quotes may be featured anonymously in public awareness campaigns, microsite articles, and other educational content to drive greater empathy and understanding. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Estimated time to complete survey: 5 minutes
