Respondents say they experienced discriminatory treatment at work, including exclusion or mockery by colleagues due to their condition
One in three eczema patients in Hong Kong experienced workplace hostility, including exclusion or mockery by colleagues due to their condition, a survey by the Medical and Health Advancement Federation has found.
The survey released on Sunday aimed to raise awareness of the physical and mental challenges faced by eczema patients, who accounted for 20 per cent of the population.
The federation conducted the survey between June and July this year, interviewing 240 people who were employed and had sought treatment for the condition in the past five years. Eczema is a condition that causes dry and itchy patches of skin.
