What Is Eczema?
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a long-term skin condition that causes dry, itchy, inflamed patches that come and go.
Common Triggers
The skin barrier is fragile and the immune system overreacts. Heat, sweat, chlorine, salt water, sunscreens, stress and new soaps can trigger flares.
Signs of Eczema to Look for
- Cracked or weeping skin
- Intense itching
- Flare-ups in the folds of elbows and knees
- Dry, scaly skin
