Imagine you have eczema – and draw an itch. There are lots of things you can draw, but they should all have to do with the terrible itching of eczema.
For example, you could:
Draw an itch. What does an itch look like? Would a really bad itch be spiky, red, hot and cross perhaps?
Can you draw someone with very itchy eczema? How do you think they would feel?
Can you draw the same person after they have applied their creams? They will now be feeling cool and calm. No more nasty itch!
Here’s a drawing by 6-year-old John of how he thinks eczema would feel.
“My skin would be all red and itchy and make me cry. I would not play with my friends in case I got hot. My skin would be all red. I might bleed. I would stay awake at night scratching. Even flowers could make me worse.”
