Eczema

Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is an inflammation of the skin that occurs when your body is exposed to something that you are allergic to. It presents as an itchy, red, dry rash. It is most commonly seen in children but can affect persons of any age. A personal history of asthma or allergies or a family history of eczema makes you more prone to develop eczema.
