Honestly, ek number bolna mushkil hai. But it's quite common, I've seen many people struggle with it. Just focus on managing it and stay positive, mental peace is also very important for skin conditions.

Percent kitna hai pata nahi, but trust me, agar kuch skin issue ho raha hai toh please doctor ko dikhao. Maine ek baar ignore kiya tha, fir badh gaya tha. It's better to get it checked early.

It's super common, I think a lot of people have it. Don't worry if you're dealing with it.

I totally get why you're asking. Eczema can be really bothering. It feels like everyone has some form of it these days, or knows someone who does. The numbers are definitely high, makes you feel less alone.

It's pretty prevalent, especially among kids. Globally, it's estimated around 15-20% of children and 1-3% of adults have some form of eczema. So yeah, quite a lot.

Honestly, after I got it last year, I felt like 50% of people I know had it too! It feels very common when you're going through it. My doc said it's increasing because of pollution and lifestyle changes.

Pura number toh pata nahi beta, par hamare gaon mein bhi kai bachhon ko aur bade logon ko bhi hai yeh chamdi ki dikkat. Bahut log pareshan rehte hain isse. Dhyan rakhna chahiye apna.

Yaar, maine bhi abhi research kiya tha kyunki mere friend ko ho gaya hai. Exact percentage toh yaad nahi but it affects a significant chunk of population globally, like 10-20% in some age groups. Quite common actually.
