What is Eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that results in dry, itchy, inflamed skin. It can appear anywhere on the body and affects both children and adults. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is often linked to genetics, environmental factors, allergies, and an overactive immune response.

Common Types of Eczema We Treat

• Atopic Dermatitis – The most common form of eczema, causing dry, inflamed, and itchy skin.
• Contact Dermatitis – Triggered by skin contact with irritants such as soaps, detergents, and certain fabrics.
• Dyshidrotic Eczema – Causes small, itchy blisters on the hands and feet.
• Seborrheic Dermatitis – Affects the scalp, face, and chest, leading to flaky, itchy patches.
• Nummular Eczema – Appears as round, itchy patches on the skin.

Symptoms of Eczema

• Dry, itchy, and inflamed skin
• Red, rough, or cracked patches
• Skin thickening or scaling over time
• Fluid-filled blisters that may leak and crust
• Increased sensitivity to irritants and allergens

Eczema symptoms can range from mild to severe and may flare up periodically. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for long-term management.
