The mean (SD) cognitive flexibility score of people with eczema was 71.6 (10.9) which was lower than the control group with a mean (SD) of 83.4 (11.7), P<0.0001. The mean (SD) emotional inhabitation score of people with eczema was 117.8 (14.5) which was higher than the control group with a mean (SD) of 90.5 (12.4), P<0.0001.
