Frequently Asked Questions About Eczema
Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy patches and rashes. It’s not contagious. The cause is complex, involving genetic factors, immune system dysfunction, environmental triggers, and a weakened skin barrier. Flares can be triggered by irritants, allergens, stress, and dry skin.
Common eczema symptoms include intense itching (especially at night), dry and sensitive skin, red or inflamed skin, small raised bumps that may leak fluid when scratched, swelling and cracking, and thick or cracked skin. Symptoms can flare up in response to specific triggers and may vary depending on age and skin location.
Eczema treatment includes regular moisturizing, medicated creams containing corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors to control itching, topical or oral antibiotics if infected, anti-inflammatory pills for severe cases, and phototherapy (light therapy) such as narrow-band UVB. Treatment is personalized based on severity and may require trying various approaches over time.
