November is Eczema Awareness Month, and ESC is shining a light on eczema. Monuments across the country will light up blue to help raise awareness about eczema.
We believe Canadians living with eczema deserve compassionate support, evidence-based education, equitable and timely access to care and treatment, and research toward improved care.
Eczema Society of Canada (ESC) is dedicated to meeting the needs of those suffering with eczema through support, education, raising awareness, advocating for patients, and ongoing research activities.
As well, ESC has a strong commitment to the continuing support of the medical community. Do you need help locating an eczema specialist? We can help you Find a Doctor.

I found the organization through a simple web search—I reached out, and someone reached back. The thought of support from peers who understood what we were going through was transformative for both our family and for ESC, as a few short years later I would lead the organization through significant growth, allowing ESC to better serve Canadians across the country who, like us, were struggling with this challenging condition.”

Executive Director, Eczema Society of Canada
While the organization has evolved since those early days, our mission has remained the same: support, education, awareness, advocacy, and research. ESC puts our mission into action in all activities, with empathy, respect, and caring at the core of what we do. We’re here to help.
People with eczema often suffer in silence. As a result, they may have poor access to the healthcare they need to improve their quality of life. Learn what you can do to help.
