Understanding Eczema

Eczema is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, from infants to adults. It is characterized by patches of dry, itchy, inflamed skin that may appear red, scaly, or cracked. Eczema can occur anywhere on the body but is most commonly found on the face, hands, wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles. The exact cause of eczema is not fully understood but is believed to involve a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors.

Triggers for eczema flare-ups can vary from person to person but may include

  • Dry skin
  • Irritants (such as soaps, detergents, or wool)
  • Allergens (such as dust mites, pet dander, or pollen)
  • Stress
  • Heat or sweating
  • Hormonal changes
  • Certain foods or food additives
  • Environmental factors (such as cold, dry weather)

Characteristics of Eczema

  • Itching: Itchy skin is a hallmark symptom of eczema, often leading to scratching, which can further irritate the skin and exacerbate symptoms.

  • Rash: Eczema rashes may appear as red, inflamed patches of skin that are dry, scaly, or cracked. In severe cases, the skin may ooze fluid or develop crusts.

  • Chronicity: Eczema is a chronic condition, meaning that symptoms may come and go over time, with periods of remission and flare-ups.

  • Impact on Quality of Life: Eczema can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, affecting sleep, self-esteem, and daily activities.
