In eczema, your skin becomes red, itchy, inflamed, or irritated. Eczema typically flares up periodically and lasts a long time. Other allergies or asthma in the family can also cause eczema.
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a skin condition affecting millions of people around the world due to a combination of immune system activation, genetics, environmental triggers, and stress. Eczema is not curable, but symptoms naturally improve as elderly individuals age. Infants who have an itchy rash may develop oozing, crusting conditions on the face and scalp. The symptoms can also occur on their arms, legs, backs, and chests.
