The exact cause of eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an overreactive immune system that occurs in response to an unknown environmental trigger. When some people touch a rough substance, like wool, an eczema inflammation may develop. Others may only experience animal dander exposure or a sensation of extreme heat or cold. Families with a history of other allergies or asthma tend to have eczema in their members. Infants and children under the age of five are particularly susceptible to it, but some adults experience it all their lives.
Eczema-affected skin typically has a very dry, thickened, or scaly appearance. Additionally, these dry, scaly, flaky patches can appear anywhere on the body, although they tend to manifest mainly on the face, knees, hands, or feet. Uncomfortable itching is always present along with the condition, and the affected areas may also start out looking red before turning black. In some people, they may even have an impact on skin pigmentation. Eczema can cause infection if left untreated, but since there is no known cure, treatments are ultimately meant to control your condition. Eczema is, at the very least, treatable and contagious-free.
