Eczema
Eczema
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects people of all ages and gender. It's characterized by dry, itchy, inflamed, oozing skin that can occur anywhere on the body, but is most commonly found on the face, neck, hands, and legs. While eczema is often genetic, and more seen in people with atopic dermatitis (Inherently dry skin), it can also be triggered by factors such as stress, certain foods, irritants, allergens, or chemicals.
