Eczema (Atopic Eczema)

Eczema, commonly known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It often affects children but can occur at any age. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but it's linked to a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Eczema can be triggered by allergens, stress, or irritants. Although there’s no cure, symptoms can be managed with moisturizers, topical creams, and, in some cases, medications. Understanding triggers and maintaining a skincare routine are key to controlling outbreaks and improving skin health.
