What is eczema?

Atopic dermatitis is the most common type, which results from an overactive immune system, causing the skin barrier to become dry and itchy. Eczema often manifests in the form of “flare-ups” that could last for days or even weeks.
Symptoms:

- Scaly patches – Red to brownish-gray patches, especially on the hands, feet, ankles, wrists, neck, upper chest, eyelids, inside the bend of the elbows and knees. They could become thickened or cracked over time.
- Swelling of skin – Raw, sensitive, and swollen skin from scratching.
