If You Are Reading This in the Middle of Another Difficult Night, You Are Not Alone

Perhaps your child cannot stop scratching.

Perhaps no one is sleeping, you have tried product after product and every new piece of advice seems to contradict the last.

You may be wondering:

  • Am I missing something?
  • Am I making this worse?
  • Why does the scratching intensify at certain times?
  • How do I help without turning every moment into a battle?
  • Will family life always feel like this?

You are not failing your child.

What is eczema?

Eczema is a recognised inflammatory skin condition, and the physical itch is real. But children and families experience eczema through much more than the visible skin.

Sleep, emotions, confidence, relationships and everyday routines can all be affected. Understanding that wider picture can help you respond with greater compassion and confidence—without abandoning appropriate skin care, changing everything at once or blaming yourself.

A Different Kind of Eczema Support

Understanding Before Correcting

We begin by asking what might be happening and what your child may need, rather than treating every difficult moment as something to stop or control.

Support for the Whole Family

Eczema affects parents, siblings, sleep, emotions and everyday life. Supporting the child begins with ensuring parents also feel heard, informed and supported.

Confidence, Not Dependence

The goal is not to give you another impossible list or make you reliant on Rebecca. It is to help you understand more, ask useful questions and make increasingly confident decisions for your family.

Professional Knowledge, Lived Understanding

More than 20 years of eczema advocacy and education

I was born with chronic eczema and know how deeply it can affect confidence, relationships and family life.

Today, I combine that lived experience with my training as a naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist. I have spent the last eight years supporting hundreds of families, alongside more than 20 years of eczema education and advocacy.

My role is not to tell you that everything you have done is wrong. It is to help you add another layer of understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is everything inside the app really free?

Yes. The educational content and private app community are free. Paid support is available only if you would like live group guidance or personalised support.

  • Are you saying eczema or scratching is emotional?

No. Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition and the itch is physically real. Emotions, tiredness and family circumstances may influence how difficult particular moments feel, but this does not make the itch imaginary or the parent responsible.

  • Is the Eczema Expert only for children?

The main education and community are designed for families supporting children. Adults seeking personalised eczema support are welcome to enquire about suitability.

  • Do I need to stop using creams or prescribed treatments?

No. The Eczema Expert does not ask families to abandon appropriate skincare or prescribed care. The approach adds education, observation and whole-family support alongside advice from appropriate healthcare professionals.

  • Will I need to change my child’s diet?

Not necessarily. Parents are encouraged to avoid removing foods without a clear reason and to seek appropriate professional advice where needed.

  • What if I have already tried everything?

You do not need another indiscriminate list of things to try. Begin with the free app and focus first on understanding your child’s individual experience and identifying what information is most useful now.

  • How do I know which support level to choose?

Begin with the free app. Choose Family Support if you would value monthly group questions and guidance. Explore the Partnership if you want personalised support over 12 months.

  • Does this guarantee that my child’s eczema will improve?

No responsible service can guarantee a particular result. The Eczema Expert helps families build understanding, confidence and a more manageable approach. Individual experiences and outcomes vary.

  • Is The Eczema Expert an emergency medical service?

No. The Eczema Expert provides education and family support and is not an emergency or diagnostic medical service. If you are concerned about infection, rapidly worsening symptoms or your child’s immediate wellbeing, seek prompt advice from an appropriate healthcare professional or urgent health service.
