ECZEMA AND ATOPIC DERMATITIS
Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is a condition where the skin is itchy and dry and can often be inflamed. In more severe cases, or during what are known as "flares", the skin may be cracked and bleeding. Over time, the skin can become thickened, or leathery, due to chronic scratching.

If the condition presents in early infancy, the cheeks are often the spot to be affected. The inside of the elbows and back of the knees are often the affected sites in older children. At different stages of life, and with different individuals, other sites may be affected, such as the wrists, knees, body trunk and groin.

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a bilateral condition meaning that if a site is affected on one side of the body, the same site on the other side of the body is generally also affected. For example, left wrist and right wrist, left and right knee, etc. And, eczema may be aggravated by contact with irritants, such as wool, synthetic fabrics, harsh or drying cleansers, detergents, pollen, or even sweat.

There is no absolute known cause for eczema, or atopic dermatitis, but there is a genetic component to the condition. It often runs in families with a 60% chance of a child having eczema if one parent has eczema. If both parents have eczema, there is an 80% chance that the child will have eczema, too. Individuals with eczema are often allergy prone. It is also common for individuals with eczema to also have asthma, allergic rhinitis, or both. In fact, 80% of children with eczema will develop some sort of allergic rhinitis or Asthma. Knowing what triggers your eczema can help you prevent skin problems and avoid flares.

Most importantly, though, a skin management regimen of proper skin care is essential. Remember that eczema is a condition having very itchy, very dry and even inflamed skin.
