Eczema is both common and troublesome, with over 30 million Americans believed to suffer some form. In spite of this, though, information on it isn’t always clear. Read on to learn more about the condition.
Eczema is actually a group name for certain types of dermatitis, each with the non-contagious symptom of itchy, red, inflamed skin. The conditions stem from the immune system reacting to irritants or allergens, inflaming the skin in order to fight them off; many sufferers also have hay fever and asthma along with it. Eczema can manifest in a few ways, so it’s important to recognize which type in order to treat it.
A number of treatments exist, the most common being topical products, cleansers, and/or medication designed to alleviate symptoms.
As painful and stressful as eczema can be, it’s possible to treat and manage. Contact Kessel Dermatology today for more information and treatment options for eczema!
