Understanding Eczema
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, itching, inflammation, and the development of dry, scaly patches. It can affect individuals of all ages and often presents with periods of flare-ups and remission.
Causes of Eczema
Eczema can develop due to various factors, including:
- Genetics: A family history of eczema or allergies can increase the risk.
- Skin Barrier Dysfunction: An impaired skin barrier makes the skin more susceptible to irritants and allergens.
- Environmental Triggers: Allergens, climate, and exposure to certain substances can exacerbate eczema.
- Immune System Dysfunction: An overactive immune response can contribute to inflammation.
