National Eczema Sign Up Information

Participate in an international survey tracking COVID-19 in eczema patients

There is so much to learn about COVID-19, including how the disease affects patients that live with other conditions, such as eczema. SECURE-AD is a new, cutting-edge registry specifically created to collect anonymized information from eczema patients who have had, or think they've had, COVID-19. Your unique experience is so important for shedding light on how COVID-19 affects people with eczema - make your mark in the global eczema community!

Here are some things that this information could eventually answer:

• Do the kinds of treatments I'm using (for eczema) impact how COVID-19 could affect me?
• Are there COVID-19 symptoms I would be more likely to have?
• What kinds of treatments are more effective for me if I get COVID-19?

The SECURE-AD registry invites eczema patients from around the world to participate if they have had or think they have had COVID-19. Simply visit their webpage for the patient survey.

Any questions should be directed to secureADpatients@gmail.com or consult their FAQ. NEA is proud to be a supporting partner of this international effort.

Dear Mia,

Research is the way forward and the light at the end of the tunnel for all of us living with eczema. 

This is why the National Eczema Association (NEA) has become the largest private funder of eczema research in the country. We have distributed more than $1.4 million in funding for eczema research to date.

Will you donate to NEA's patient-centered research efforts today?

Eczema is still an invisible disease in the minds of research funders and the public. Even the most committed doctors and scientists struggle to find funding for their research projects. This is where NEA comes in. 

"NEA will support your interests as a patient with scientific rigor. NEA takes a chance on the more innovative research projects that have the potential to really help people living with eczema."
- Dr. Eric Simpson, Oregon Health & Science University 

Will you donate to the NEA Research Fund today to build a brighter future for people living with eczema?

We believe in the future. People with eczema will get the healthcare they need more quickly. More treatments will be available. We're progressing towards eczema prevention and, ultimately, a cure. 

There is progress and there is hope, but only if we keep pushing together. Join us. 

Yours in health and gratitude,
Julie Block
President and CEO
