Learn more about the signs of eczema and how to treat them by reading on.


What is eczema?

Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a condition in which patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some types can also cause blisters, skin asthma, skin allergy, and skin rashes.

Eczema affects about 10% to 20% of infants and about 3% of adults and children in the world. Most children outgrow it when they get older. Some people outgrow the condition, while others will continue to have it throughout adulthood.
There’s no cure, but most people can manage their symptoms by getting atopic dermatitis (eczema) treatment and by avoiding irritants. Eczema isn’t contagious, so you can’t spread it to another person.

Symptoms
 
Atopic dermatitis symptoms might differ based on an individual's age, the severity of their condition, and other factors.
 

People with the condition frequently go through phases where their symptoms get worse, followed by phases where they get better or go away.Eczema is typically itchy, regardless of the area of your skin affected. Sometimes the rash appears before the itching. The following are the most common signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis:

 
 
- scaly, dry skin
- flushed skin
- itching
- weeping, open, or crusty sores
                                              
Symptoms in infants
 
Young children aged 2 and below with atopic dermatitis (eczema) frequently experience the following symptoms:
- skin rashes on the cheeks and scalp
- rashes that erupt in a bubble before leaking fluid
- rashes that can be quite itchy and keep children awake
The condition affects the majority of people before the age of five. By puberty, 60% of kids reportedly stop exhibiting symptoms.
 
Symptoms in adults
 
Adults frequently experience the following atopic dermatitis (eczema) symptoms:
- more scaly rashes than those that appear on children.
- rashes that frequently show up in the creases of the elbows, knees, or neck.
- rashes that cover a large portion of the body
- very parched skin in the impacted areas
- itchiness that lasts a long time
- skin infections
Adults who experienced childhood atopic dermatitis (eczema) but no longer do so may still have dry or easily irritated skin, hand eczema, and eyelid eczema.
 
Treatment
 
Eczema currently has no known treatment. Treating the affected skin and avoiding symptom flare-ups are the goals of treatment for the condition.
Doctors can prescribe several medications to treat the symptoms of eczema, including topical corticosteroid creams and ointments. These are anti-inflammatory medications that should alleviate the primary signs and symptoms of eczema, such as swelling and itching. They can be applied straight to the skin.
