Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes itching, redness, and inflammation. It is a type of allergic reaction and is often triggered by irritants or allergens in the environment.
Symptoms of eczema can vary in severity and may include dry, scaly patches of skin, small raised bumps that may ooze or crust over, itching, and redness. In severe cases, the skin may become thickened and may be more susceptible to infections.
There is no cure for eczema, but treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups. This may include using moisturizers and topical corticosteroid creams or ointments to help reduce inflammation and itching. In some cases, oral medications may be necessary to manage severe symptoms.
In addition to medical treatment, it is also important to identify and avoid triggers that may aggravate eczema symptoms. This may include avoiding harsh soaps or detergents, wearing loose-fitting clothing made from soft fabrics, and managing stress levels.
If you are experiencing symptoms of eczema, it is important to see a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
