Eczema is a condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Blisters may sometimes occur.
The word "eczema" is also used specifically to talk about atopic dermatitis, the most common type of eczema.
"Atopic" refers to a collection of diseases involving the immune system, including atopic dermatitis, asthma, and hay fever. Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin.
Certain foods can trigger symptoms, such as nuts and dairy.
Symptoms vary according to the age of the person with eczema, but they often include scaly, itchy patches of skin.
Eczema can also be triggered by environmental factors like smoke and pollen. However, eczema is not a curable condition.
So share pics with me and discuss about ur condition.. so that best treatment can be given earliest.
