Patient profile

Ms Cheryl Talent, President of the Eczema Association of Australasia Inc. (EAA), has been an eczema sufferer for most of her life. Her eczema began when she was just a few days old.

Born in Melbourne, Cheryl moved to Queensland 12 years ago and became involved with the Association in 1997 after experiencing the worst flare-up of eczema since she was a baby.

Her involvement with the EAA provided the education and tools to allow her to keep her eczema mostly under control, which she believes is the key for most eczema sufferers.

Ms Talent is also passionate about the EAA’s role in helping eczema sufferers and their carers towards a better quality of life as well as being a shoulder to lean on when things get too hard.
