                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that there should 
  be established a National Inflammatory Skin Disease Awareness Month.

Whereas inflammatory skin diseases affect men, women, and children of all ages 
        and races;
Whereas these diseases can be very distressing to those who have them, causing 
        great discomfort and emotional stress;
Whereas inflammatory skin diseases include a wide range of symptoms and a broad 
        category of skin conditions, including eczema, acne, poison ivy, contact 
        dermatitis, and psoriasis, among others;
Whereas inflammatory skin disease affects citizens across the United States;
Whereas it is essential to educate the public on the symptoms, treatments, and 
        cures related to inflammatory skin diseases; and
Whereas December would be an appropriate month to establish as National 
        Inflammatory Skin Disease Awareness Month: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
there should be established a National Inflammatory Skin Disease 
Awareness Month.
