This community is a place for people with eczema to talk with others about their experiences, treatments, coping methods, and life with eczema. Posts and comments are limited to the biological, psychological, and social issues regarding the specific inflammatory skin conditions called eczema, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. The community expects kindness, consideration, and compassion, because eczema is frequently accompanied by physical pain and social anxiety.
The rule No marketing is the one that decides whether a marketing-adjacent post survives, because it bans affiliate marketing, pharmaceutical marketing, supplements and stem cell marketing, influencers, MLM, for-profit pharma sponsored forums, and gofundme campaigns for individuals. The rule Anecdotes do not equal evidence also matters, because it lets you talk about what worked for you and you alone, while broader statements require credible sources such as academic journals and articles written by PhD researchers. The rule Only medical professionals can provide diagnosis and emergency help keeps you from offering diagnoses or medical advice. The rule Stay on the topic of eczema keeps posts focused on eczema, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis, and says the subreddit is not a place for discussions about COVID vaccines. The rule Drug adverse effects and side effects asks for nuance and openness when discussing side effects and adverse effects.
A good post here is a personal story about your own experience with eczema, what worked for you and you alone, and how you cope. If you want to make a broader claim, back it with credible sources such as academic journals and articles written by PhD researchers. Keep your tone kind and compassionate, and stay strictly on the topic of eczema and related skin conditions. A founder doing respectful Reddit marketing would share honestly, cite academic sources where needed, and never promote a product or link.
Avoid any form of marketing, including affiliate marketing, pharmaceutical marketing, supplements and stem cell marketing, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok influencers, MLM, for-profit pharma sponsored forums, and gofundme campaigns for individuals. Do not offer diagnoses or emergency help, and do not treat the subreddit as a substitute for professional medical advice. Do not make broad statements about what everyone must try, and do not cite non-academic sources for broader claims. Do not discuss COVID vaccines or topics outside eczema, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. Do not make wide, sweeping generalizations or calls for censorship when someone shares an uncomfortable anecdote about side effects.
