Eczema

Meet your dermatologist to treat eczema

Chronic skin conditions like eczema may be annoying, but they are also fightable. Individuals with eczema may find consolation and relief if they approach the condition with patience, education, and the appropriate frame of mind.

Dry, itchy, and irritated skin are classic symptoms of eczema, sometimes called atopic dermatitis. Caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental circumstances, and immune system abnormalities, it affects individuals of all ages. Knowing the causes and triggers of eczema might help you take control of the condition.

What are the causes of eczema?

Atopic dermatitis, often known as eczema, causes inflammation, itching, and redness. Genetic, immune system, and environmental factors are thought to cause eczema. Family history of eczema, allergies, or asthma increases risk. Eczema sufferers may respond to stimuli, causing inflammation and skin irritation. Environmental elements including soaps, detergents, and textiles, allergens like dust mites, pollen, and pet hair, temperature and humidity fluctuations, and emotional stress all worsen eczema symptoms. Eczema may be managed by avoiding triggers, moisturising, and taking drugs as indicated.
