Eczema & Psoriasis

Eczema is a skin condition that causes the skin to become inflamed, itchy, scaly, red, or irritated.

The word "eczema" is also used specifically to refer to atopic dermatitis, the most common type of eczema, however there are 7 known types of eczema. It's common in young children but can occur at any age.

Eczema are long lasting (chronic) and tends to flare sometimes.

The appearance of skin affected by eczema will depend on how much a person scratches it, and whether the skin is infected. Scratching and rubbing further causes irritation on the skin, increases inflammation, and can worsen eczema.
