Help your teen take charge of their eczema care—without turning it into a battle

As children grow into teenagers, they want more independence. But eczema self-management, using treatments correctly, sticking to routines, and attending medical appointments is a big responsibility. So how do parents step back without letting things fall apart? In this episode, we hear from parents, teenagers, young adults, and healthcare professionals about how to make the transition to independent eczema care smoother and less stressful for everyone. Our guest is Dr. Miriam Santer, Professor of Primary Care Research at University of Southampton, who specializes in supporting young people with long-term conditions like eczema.
