mellio: Supporting eczema patients in their search for symptom relief
Those suffering with eczema often have to undergo long spells of trial and error before they can find a form of symptom relief that works for them. During this time, individuals will experience symptom flare-ups in which the aftermath can take weeks or months to heal fully. Mellio is a bio-textile made of alginate-based zinc yarns that provides accelerated healing after a flare-up to support those in the process of finding proper treatment.
