Episode 26: Embracing your allergies: how micro-exposures to an allergen can make eczema better.
Could allergy drops (or shots) be the answer to reducing eczema flares? More and more research suggests that immunotherapy can improve eczema symptoms. Immunotherapy is safe for kids, easy to use and cheap. We discuss how the treatment works and it’s potential to improve lives, especially for kids who can’t access expensive treatment programs. Our guests are Dr. Derek Chu, a clinician scientist from McMaster University in Canada, and Dr. Sarah Langer, a pediatric immunologist from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. (P.S.
