Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation and irritation. It causes the skin to become dry, red, and itchy, leading to discomfort and sometimes severe scratching. Eczema can affect people of all ages, but it is more commonly seen in children. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While there is no cure for eczema, it can typically be managed through proper skincare routines, avoiding triggers, and using medicated creams or ointments to control symptoms.
