Tori Spelling and Daughter Stella Share Eczema Journey, Credit Non‑Steroid Treatment, Join Awareness Campaign

Stella describes years of bullying that forced her to miss most of sixth grade.

Overview

  • In an exclusive PEOPLE interview published Oct. 30, the pair detail their experiences with inflammatory skin disease and their participation in Arcutis Biotherapeutics' Free To Be Me campaign.
  • Spelling says her first adult flare-ups emerged during a stressful period while producing So NoTORious, severe enough that production was briefly halted.
  • She says Stella’s symptoms began in toddlerhood and included patches on her arms, hands, and face along with seborrheic dermatitis on her scalp.
  • After concerns about long-term steroid use, a dermatologist prescribed the non-steroidal topical ZORYVE, which they say has cleared Stella’s skin and restored confidence.
  • They say they want to challenge the notion that eczema is "just dry skin" and encourage others to share their experiences and seek informed care.
