Eczema is a condition that includes several types of skin irritation, all marked by redness, itching and dry, scaly patches. The most common form, atopic dermatitis, often starts in infancy but can also appear in adults. Eczema can affect areas like the face, scalp, elbows, knees and hands, causing discomfort and impacting quality of life.

While some people identify specific triggers, eczema is often influenced by factors such as diet, hormonal changes and environmental conditions. External factors, including weather changes or exposure to harsh soaps, can make symptoms worse. A targeted treatment for eczema can help manage flare-ups and reduce discomfort.
