[Children with atopic eczema and their environment].

Taking an interest in the environment of a child suffering from eczema means understanding the word "environment" in the broadest possible sense: the child's lifestyle, family, social and cultural environment. By taking all these aspects into account, we can optimize the effectiveness of treatments, and avoid the multiple problems and comorbidities associated with moderate and severe eczema. It's up to caregivers to be vigilant about this, and to reposition the right gestures by spotting errors right from the start, even in the case of mild eczema. The best way to respond to this challenge, i.e. to help parents understand, is to draw on the principles of therapeutic patient education.
