What is Eczema?

Eczema is a common inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and irritated skin. Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema and is a chronic condition that causes recurring flare-ups, often affecting the face, hands, and creases of the elbows and knees. However, there are several other types, including:

• Contact Dermatitis: Occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen, causing redness, itching, or inflammation.
• Dyshidrotic Eczema: Causes small, intensely itchy blisters, typically on the hands, fingers, and feet.
• Nummular Eczema: Characterized by round, coin-shaped patches of irritated skin that may itch, ooze, or become crusty.
