Eczema is a common skin condition that causes inflammation, redness, itching, and dryness of the skin. It often occurs when the skin’s protective barrier becomes weak, making it more sensitive to irritants, allergens, and environmental factors. Eczema can affect people of all ages and commonly appears on the face, hands, neck, elbows, and behind the knees. Proper dermatological care and early treatment help control symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and maintain healthy skin.

Common Signs & Symptoms

• Dry, itchy, and sensitive skin
• Red or inflamed patches on the skin
• Rough, thickened, or scaly skin texture
• Cracking or oozing in severe cases
• Increased itching, especially at night

Diagnosis & Treatment

Eczema is diagnosed through clinical evaluation of the skin and patient history. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving itching, and strengthening the skin barrier. With proper medications, skincare guidance, and lifestyle adjustments, eczema symptoms can be effectively managed and flare-ups can be minimized.
