Eczema

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that leads to dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It's a common condition that can affect people of all ages, but it's especially prevalent in children. Eczema is believed to have a genetic component and is often linked to other allergic conditions like asthma and hay fever. For proper diagnosis and management, individuals with eczema should consult a dermatologist. Dermatologists can provide personalized treatment plans based on the severity and type of eczema.
