What is Eczema?
Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin barrier to weaken, impairing its ability to protect the body from outside elements and retain moisture. The skin becomes dry, red/hyperpigmented, itchy, thickened, and bumpy. The urge to scratch the skin is often irresistible. Excessive scratching can lead to the formation of blisters and skin infections. It can affect people at any age, from newborns to the elderly.
