A group of conditions that cause your skin to become inflamed, irritated and itchy.
What is it?
Some people use the term "eczema" to refer to a group of skin conditions with similar characteristics. Others use the term as the name of their specific condition, which may include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, hand eczema, neurodermatitis, nummular eczema or stasis dermatitis.
Regardless of how you use the term, the result is often inflamed and irritated skin that can be both itchy and painful. Eczema can impact infants, children, teens and adults. Patients who experienced eczema in their youth are sometimes susceptible to developing symptoms again later in life.
