Eczema and psoriasis are too often seen as minor inconveniences, sorted out with a few dollops of moisturiser and swiftly forgotten.
However, for many, these conditions can have severe and long-lasting impacts, not just on skin, but also mental health. So why is there so little psychological support available for patients battling these chronic conditions?
