Dr. Diane Angela Fong, ND Season 1 Episode 12

If you or your child have eczema, then you know how difficult it can be to get a good night's sleep. Whether you're dealing with mild, moderate, or severe eczema, the intense itchiness, inflammation, and discomfort can keep you tossing and turning all night. The result? Fatigue, frustration, and an even harder time managing your eczema flares. Sleep is essential for healing, and without it, your skin—and overall health—will struggle.
