Is growing out of eczema a real thing? Free talk on Saturday 28th February

On Saturday 28 February, we’re thrilled to host a talk by Dr Tess McPherson on eczema in teenagers. In the UK, one in five children has eczema, and many are told they’ll “probably grow out of it” as teenagers. But is this true? Is growing out of eczema a real thing?

Dr McPherson is a Consultant Dermatologist with a specialist interest in adolescent eczema. She will explore the challenges teenagers face and the best ways to manage eczema. And address the question so many children and parents want to know – do you grow out of eczema?

You’re very welcome to attend the event in person in Guildford, or join us virtually via our live-stream on Facebook (Link Here) – both are completely free!

The talk is at 2.00pm on Saturday 28 February 2026, at Guildford Baptist Church, Millmead, Guildford GU2 4BE. For those attending in person, there is the opportunity to ask questions following Dr McPherson’s talk. There will also be displays of the charity’s eczema information resources and light refreshments are available.
