Designed with kids and teens in mind, the Treatment Navigator is GPER's latest resource for families managing eczema. The tool highlights treatments currently on the market or in clinical trials and categorizes them by Topicals, Orals, and Injectables. We've distilled the information into efficacy, safety, and availability spanning age groups and location. Our goal is to empower families and caregivers by making sense of the jargon, linking to research, and presenting the info in a way that makes it easy to, well, navigate.
