Additional knowledge:

Eczema is a general term for any type of dermatitis or “inflammation of the skin.” Atopic dermatitis is the most severe and long-lasting kind. Although the term is often used for atopic dermatitis, there are several other skin diseases that qualify as well.

All types will cause itching and redness, and some will blister, weep, or peel.

Ecezma can tend to flare-up when the person is exposed to positive trigger factors–substances or conditions which worsen the dermatitis, such as dry skin, irritants, allergens, emotional stress, heat and sweating, and infections. The key to controlling the skin condition is avoiding or reducing such exposure including irritants often found in skincare and cosmetic products.
