Haere mai, welcome

Welcome to the Eczema Association of New Zealand. We are a national non-profit charity organisation dedicated to eczema sufferers in New Zealand. We would like to reach all New Zealanders who live with this debilitating disease every day and let them know that they can get help, support, education and management.

Living with eczema is challenging, but it doesn't define who you are. You are strong, resilient, and beautiful.

How to manage your eczema

Congratulations Elliot!

🎉 Congratulations to our Logo Competition Winner - Elliot McLeod! 🎉

As part of our 10-year anniversary, we ran a logo competition to celebrate a decade of supporting Kiwis and their whānau on their eczema journey - and we were blown away by the entries. We're excited to announce that the winning design came from Elliot McLeod, whose powerful and personal concept truly touched our hearts. ❤️

Elliot shared this story with his submission:"The fingerprint in my logo carries a deeply personal meaning. It symbolises individuality and identity, but the pink lines reflect the unique struggles of those of us living with eczema. Just as no two fingerprints are alike, each person's journey with eczema is different, marked by visible and invisible impacts. The pink lines highlight the difficulty that those with eczema experience, yet they also represent resilience and hope - showing that despite these challenges, each individual remains whole, unique, and strong.As someone who personally suffers from eczema, this design holds special significance to me. It reflects not only the challenges I face but everyone in Aotearoa on their own journey.”

Sometimes the most powerful connections happen when you least expect them.

We had an incredible experience connecting with GPs, nurses, and health professionals from across the North Island at GPCME this year. Although we didn’t have a booth this time, we still shared 50 resource packs and had valuable conversations that highlighted just how needed eczema support is in our communities. Our presentation was warmly received, with attendees staying engaged right through to the end and giving us great feedback.

It was especially encouraging to hear from professionals who hadn’t known about EANZ before, and now want to connect their patients with us. One highlight was learning that Healthline nurses may start referring eczema-related queries directly to us, which could be a huge step forward for awareness and access to support.

We're excited about the ideas and opportunities that have come from this event and are already planning to return next year - this time with our own booth!

Even when the world is quiet, eczema keeps going. The discomfort, the restlessness, the exhaustion - it can feel like a battle no one else sees.

But every day you show up, you’re showing strength. You’re not alone in this, and your experience matters.

💬 If tonight is tough, we’re with you. Tell us how you’re doing.

It’s not just the person with eczema who carries the weight - it’s the one gently helping them through it.

The parent who stays up all night during a flare.
The partner who learns every ingredient on the label.
The friend who listens without needing to fix it.

Your love, patience, and quiet strength make a world of difference.

Today, we see you. We honour you. We’re so grateful for you.

💙 Tag someone who’s walked beside you on your eczema journey - let them know how much they mean to you.

🌍 World Skin Health Day – 8 July 2025 🌿

Did you know that over 1.8 billion people worldwide live with a skin condition—including thousands of Kiwis managing the daily challenges of eczema?

That’s why the Eczema Association of New Zealand (EANZ) exists. We’re here to support, educate, and advocate for New Zealanders living with eczema - whether that’s connecting people with resources, raising awareness about treatment options, or giving a voice to those who often feel unheard.

This year’s World Skin Health Day theme is “Skin Health for All”, reminding us how important it is for everyone - no matter where they live - to have access to the care and support they need.

👉 What EANZ does for our community:
✔️ Provide trusted information and resources
✔️ Support individuals and families through the emotional and physical impact of eczema
✔️ Work with health professionals to improve care
✔️ Advocate for better access to treatments and services

Skin health isn’t a luxury—it’s a basic human need. And we’re proud to stand with other organisations around the world today, raising awareness for #SkinHealthForAll. 💙

Let’s make skin health a priority for all Kiwis.

You’re doing all the “right” things… so why won’t your skin settle? If you’ve been moisturising, cleansing, avoiding triggers - and your eczema’s still flaring - you’re not alone. Sometimes, it’s not about doing more, it’s about doing differently.
In this post, we’re breaking down 8 common skincare myths that might be holding your skin back, and sharing gentler truths that can help.

✨ What's something you've done differently that worked? Let us know in the comments - and tag someone who needs to see this.

Eczema doesn’t just show up on the surface - it speaks through the itch, the cracks, the flare-ups that appear when life gets heavy.

And on those hard days, it can feel like you’re fighting a battle no one else sees.

But here’s the truth: your eczema isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a reminder to slow down. To listen in. To take care of yourself in deeper ways.

These gentle reminders aren’t just about your skin, they’re about your strength, your mindset, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going.

Which reminder do you need most today? Share it in the comments - your words might be the encouragement someone else needs too.

It’s never just the rash.

It’s the 2am scratching.
The tossed sheets.
The creams lined up like soldiers on the bedside table.
It’s the constant monitoring - clothes, soaps, foods, moods - wondering what will set it off this time.
It’s the exhaustion of explaining (again) that no, it’s not contagious… and no, it’s not “just dry skin.”

Eczema is more than what you see. It’s broken sleep, constant irritation, and doing your best every single day to manage the unmanageable - with quiet strength and unmatched resilience.

💬 If this sounds like your reality, or someone you love - we see you.

Share what helps you feel seen or supported during a flare-up. Your story might be the reminder someone else needs today.

It always starts the same way - the temperature drops, and the itching kicks in.

For many people living with eczema, winter is more than just chilly mornings and dry hands. It’s cracked knuckles. Sleepless nights. That constant itch that seems to settle in and stay.

Maybe it’s the heater drying out the air. Or the wool jumper that looked cosy but left your skin stinging. Whatever the trigger, it feels like flare-ups hit harder in the cold, and just when you’re already stretched thin.

But here’s what we’ve learnt: small changes can make a big difference.

A thicker moisturiser. Soft, breathable layers. A reminder to drink more water (even when you don't want to). Sometimes something as simple as slowing down and giving your skin the care it deserves can help.

💬 If winter flares are part of your story too - what helps you through?

Share your go-to tip below. Your story might be the support someone else needs today.

Winter’s coming… and so is dry, itchy skin.

Living with eczema? Cold air + dry heat can be a recipe for flare-ups.
