What Parents Need to Know About Eczema Awareness Month

What Parents Need to Know About Eczema Awareness Month

October is Eczema Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of children and families worldwide. If your child lives with eczema, you already know it’s more than just “itchy skin.” It can impact sleep, self-confidence, daily routines, and well-being.

At Carabie, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and comfortable in their skin. That’s why this month, we’re not only raising awareness but also giving back — 10% of every eczema purchase made in October will be donated to the National Eczema Association (NEA).


💙 Why Eczema Awareness Month Matters

  • More than 31 million people in the U.S. are affected by eczema.

  • It’s a chronic condition that can have a serious impact on quality of life.

  • Beyond the physical symptoms, kids often feel different, isolated, or frustrated.

Awareness months like this create space for education, empathy, and action — helping families feel less alone and encouraging research that leads to better care.


Carabie’s Mission: Comfort in Every Hug

Carabie was founded by a pediatrician with one mission: to promote child health and well-being. Our Bunny with Eczema plush and picture book were designed to:

✨ Help kids see themselves represented.
✨ Teach families about eczema in a gentle, kid-friendly way.
✨ Provide comfort during skincare routines, doctor visits, and itchy nights.


🌟 How You Can Support This Month

Here are three simple ways to make a difference during Eczema Awareness Month:

  1. Educate & Share – Talk about eczema with friends, schools, and caregivers. The more people understand it, the more empathy kids receive.

  2. Shop with Purpose – This October, every Carabie purchase gives back to the NEA — funding education, support, and research.

  3. Show Kids They’re Not Alone – Remind your child (or the child in your life) that their experience matters. Representation and comfort can change everything.


💌 Join the Movement

This month, let’s stand together for every child with eczema. Whether it’s through raising awareness, supporting research, or gifting a Bunny that brings comfort, your actions make a difference.

👉 Shop our Bunny this October — 10% goes directly to the National Eczema Association.

Because every hug, every story, and every small act of kindness brings us closer to a world where kids feel truly comfortable in their skin. 💙
