Eczema is a group of inflammatory skin conditions that cause dry skin, itchiness, rashes, scaly patches, blisters and skin infections.
While the exact cause of eczema is unknown and can vary from person to person, eczema is an interaction between stress, genetic and environmental triggers, though it is not contagious.
Anyone at any age can get eczema, from newborn babies and teens to older adults. Certain types of eczema are more common in certain age groups. Certain types of eczema are more common in individuals who have allergies or asthma. It can also run in families who have a history of these conditions.
Eczema can vary in appearance depending on your skin tone. For light to medium skin tones, it may appear as pink or red rashes with bumps and crust. For medium to dark skin tones, it may look dark brown, gray or purple with dry, small bumps. Eczema can also change in appearance depending on how long you’ve had symptoms (acute or cronic)There are seven different types of eczema. While each type is different, some share common causes, symptoms and treatments. It’s possible to experience more than one type of eczema at the same time or at different times on multiple parts of the body. For effective diagnosis and management, it’s crucial to know what type you are experiencing.
Multiple treatments are available for eczema. Since eczema symptoms can be different for everyone, not everyone will respond to the same treatments in the same way. In general, I recommend the following to help control eczema flares:
• Set and stick to a regular bathing and moisturizing routine
• Use prescription medications as prescribed by your doctor
• Know your triggers and avoid them as best as you can
