Draw a picture
What could you draw? Well, you could draw an itch. What does an itch look like? Would a really bad itch be spiky, red, hot and cross, perhaps? Can you draw someone with very itchy eczema? How do you think they would feel? Can you draw the same person after they have applied their creams? They will now be feeling cool and calm. No more nasty itch!

How John thinks eczema would feel
“My skin would be all red and itchy and make me cry. I would not play with my friends in case I got hot. My skin would be all red. I might bleed. I would stay awake at night, scratching. Even flowers could make me worse.”
How Andrew thinks eczema would feel
“The itching would make you hot and bothered. It would go on night and day. It would be made worse by things like woolly clothes and allergies to pollen and animal hair and some foods.
People would laugh at you and you would be scratching and crying. It would be horrible.”
