IV. We join the "Understanding Atopic Dermatitis" campaigns
According to most of the population, Atopic Dermatitis is a rash that affects young children and that they grow over time. Lack of awareness and knowledge that it is an incurable disease that also affects adults is very harmful to patients. Underestimating the impact of AD on the daily life of patients and their functioning in society, often associated with social exclusion, stigmatization or even depression, is unfortunately on the agenda.
AD occurs in 2–10% of the world's adult population, and in 2–8% of them the disease is severe. A hallmark of moderate to severe AD are painful lesions on large or sensitive parts of the body, which may cover more than 50% of the body's surface.
The disease is accompanied by a very severe, troublesome itching of the skin, as a result of which patients experience a significant deterioration in the quality of life, mainly due to sleep deficit and associated emotional disorders. As many as 79% of AD patients suffer from insomnia, and 84% have difficulty falling asleep.
In order to make the society aware of what this disease is and what its effects are, the "Understanding atopic dermatitis" campaign was created.
The website www.zrozumiecazs.pl will contain the most important information on Atopic Dermatitis, expert texts and stories of patients in the form of short videos.
As part of the campaign, the Polish Coalition for AZS was established. This coalition brings together key organizations of patients with skin diseases: PTCA, Together Raźniej, Association of Patients with Psoriasis, scientific societies: Polish Dermatological Society, Polish Society of Allergology, Polish Psychological Society, as well as medical experts dealing with atopic dermatitis and comorbidities .
