What is Eczema?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that leads to inflammation, dryness, and intense itching. It can occur at any age and is often linked to genetic and environmental factors. People with eczema have a weakened skin barrier, making them more susceptible to irritants and allergens. The condition may fluctuate in severity, with periodic flare-ups. While there is no permanent cure, a combination of skincare, medical treatments, and lifestyle changes can help keep symptoms under control and improve quality of life.
