Embrace Gloves

I invented the first eczema-specific glove designed to prevent nocturnal scratching. With the structure being made from repurposed saline bottles, these gloves help reduce hospital waste. So far, I have donated 100 units Ramathibodi Hospital and The Mercy Centre.

Research

We conduct eczema research to educate patients on effective treatment methods, debunk myths surrounding eczema care, and raise awareness about the risks of skin steroid addiction.

Testimonials

Aside from sharing my own story about overcoming the mental and physical struggles of eczema, our website serves as a platform for individuals to share their eczema journeys. This fosters a sense of community, offers support and encouragement, and highlights diverse experiences.
