What is Eczema?
Eczema is a recurring or chronic skin condition, also known as atopic eczema, or by its medical name, atopic dermatitis. It most often occurs in babies and children, but can also affect adults. Eczema is itchy, often unattractive, and irritating but not contagious.

It may be linked to dry skin, allergies, or immune system dysfunction, although stress can also worsen this skin disorder. Eczema rashes can occur almost anywhere on the body. Common eczema symptoms include:

• red and brown roughened areas on the skin
• raised bumps which may weep and crust over
• itchiness, especially at night
• thick, scaly skin that may crack in cold weather, or under other conditions that are drying
• sensitivity and pain

Childhood Eczema often occurs on the face, neck, and limbs, and may be worsened by exposure to chemicals in detergents, soaps, shampoo and other personal care products.
