Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are to increase families' understanding of eczema and improve eczema management in the primary care setting. The investigators plan to create an educational video for families providing general information about eczema as well as instructions about good skincare management and common treatments. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial of the plan in the primary care clinic at Boston Children's Hospital. Specifically, the investigators aim to (1) decrease eczema severity (2) improve patient and family quality of life (QOL) and (3) increase parental knowledge about eczema and eczema management.
