What is eczema Commonly known as dermatitis, eczema is an umbrella term for a group of skin conditions that tend to make it itchy, inflamed, or have a rash-like appearance. It is more common in kids, but can also occur in almost every one-in-five adults. Generally, any eczema’s severity and appearance can be categorized as acute, subacute, or chronic, depending on how long they last. However, it mostly occurs as a chronic condition that reoccurs irregularly.
What are the types of eczema? Atopic Dermatitis: This is an inherited form of eczema caused by the immune system and mostly occurs from childhood. Contact Dermatitis: This is the next stage of untreated atopic dermatitis where the skin becomes extremely sensitive and flares up when exposed to friction, harsh chemicals, or even water. Allergic Contact Dermatitis: Here, the affected skin reacts to specific substances that are otherwise harmless, such as perfume, nickel, or rubber objects.
Infective Dermatitis: It mostly occurs in children and is caused by both fungal and bacterial infections. Seborrheic Dermatitis: It is believed to be caused by a yeast (fungus) that secretes an irritant which makes the skin scaly and dry. It mostly affects the scalp, face, or parts with more oil glands. Nummular Dermatitis: It often occurs as round, scattered patches of irritated skin over a healed wound. It is also called discoid eczema.
