Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a type of dermatitis that happens most often in early childhood. Adults can absolutely experience eczema as well, making this frustrating condition one that has patients of all ages seeking treatment.
Eczema occurs when your skin isn't able to properly protect you from your environment. As a result, itchy, inflamed rashes pop up on the skin. Genetics are widely thought to play a role in eczema, and there's evidence to suggest allergies to food may also contribute.
Taking care of your skin by moisturizing regularly is very important when treating eczema. Figuring out your triggers and figuring out how to avoid them can also help. Sometimes, though, further intervention is needed. This can come in the form of infection-fighting drugs, topical creams, injectables, light therapy, and more.
