Skincare for Eczema

The term ‘Eczema’ means a group of skin conditions that cause dry, itchy and inflamed skin. Eczema can affect any part of the body, but it often occurs on the face, neck, elbows, knees and ankles. Eczema is also known as atopic dermatitis, which is the most common type of eczema. Atopic dermatitis is an inherited condition that affects the skin’s ability to retain moisture and protect against irritants, allergens and bacteria. Eczema can flare up and subside over time, and it can be triggered by various factors, such as stress, weather, food, chemicals or infections.
