Eczema 

What is eczema? What are the causes of eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by redness, itching, dryness, and irritation. It can affect individuals of any age and often arises due to a combination of genetic factors, an overactive immune response, and environmental triggers such as allergens, irritants, stress, weather changes, or infections.

What are the Symptoms and pattern of eczema?

Eczema typically follows a relapsing-remitting pattern, with periods of flare-ups followed by remission. Symptoms can range from mild dryness to intense itching, cracked skin, or even weeping lesions—often impacting daily comfort and overall quality of life.

How is eczema treatment?

The conventional treatment for eczema includes oral and topical corticosteroids along with emollients (moisturizers). Once symptoms are controlled, the focus shifts to maintenance—primarily through continued use of prescribed moisturizers, symptom relief during flare-ups, and lifestyle modifications to minimize exposure to known triggers.
