Tori Spelling, Daughter Stella Share Eczema Battle, Bullying Fallout and Treatment That Brought Relief

Their disclosure comes through Arcutis’ Free To Be Me campaign to encourage understanding of non-steroidal options.

Overview

  • Spelling says her eczema began in adulthood during a stressful period surrounding her first divorce and developing So NoTORious.
  • She recalls symptoms so painful they briefly halted production before a doctor diagnosed eczema.
  • Spelling says Stella’s flare-ups started in toddlerhood, included seborrheic dermatitis on her scalp, and led to severe bullying that prompted homeschooling for most of sixth grade.
  • After years avoiding long-term steroid creams, a dermatologist prescribed the non-steroidal topical ZORYVE, which they say has cleared Stella’s skin and improved her confidence.
  • The pair say they hope sharing their experience reduces stigma and reminds others that eczema is not contagious.
