What is Eczema?
Eczema, or Atopic Dermatitis, is a persistent skin disease accompanied by inflammation, redness, itching, and even dryness. Its manifestation is not restricted to a specific body part and can affect individuals of any age, but it often appears in childhood. Its causes are unknown, but it can be associated with family history, autoimmune problems, and environmental factors like allergens, stress, and irritants. Although eczema is not curable, it is manageable with the use of moisturizers, medicated creams, and lifestyle modifications to lessen the severity of the symptoms and flare-ups.
Types of Eczema
Eczema comes in several types, each with distinct triggers and symptoms. The main types include:
Atopic Dermatitis
The most common form, often linked to allergies and asthma, causing dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.
Nummular Eczema
Characterized by round, coin-shaped patches of itchy, inflamed skin, often appearing after skin injuries.
Contact Dermatitis
Triggered by skin contact with irritants or allergens, leading to redness, burning, and itching.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Affects oily areas like the scalp, face, and chest, causing dandruff-like flakes, redness, and itching.
Dyshidrotic Eczema
Causes small, itchy blisters on the hands and feet, often triggered by stress, moisture, or allergens.
Stasis Dermatitis
Occurs due to poor circulation, mainly in the lower legs, leading to swelling, redness, and skin irritation.
Each type may require different treatments and management strategies.
An online Eczema visit costs between $39–$59

Symptoms of Eczema
The symptoms of eczema can vary based on the type and severity but commonly include:
- Itchy Skin – Persistent itching, which can be severe and worsen at night.
- Redness and Inflammation – Skin appears red, swollen, and irritated.
- Dry and Scaly Skin – Affected areas may become rough, flaky, or cracked.
- Blisters or Oozing – Some cases cause fluid-filled blisters that may weep or crust over.
- Thickened or Leathery Skin – Long-term scratching can lead to thick, tough skin patches.
- Dark or Discolored Patches – The skin may darken or change color, especially in people with darker skin tones.
- Sensitive or Raw Skin – Skin may become tender, painful, or more sensitive due to scratching and irritation.
Cause of Eczema
Eczema is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect the skin's ability to retain moisture and protect against irritants. Some common causes and triggers include:
- Genetics – A family history of eczema, allergies, or asthma increases the risk.
- Immune System Dysfunction – An overactive immune response can cause inflammation and skin irritation.
- Skin Barrier Issues – People with eczema have a weakened skin barrier, leading to dryness and sensitivity.
- Irritants – Harsh soaps, detergents, fragrances, and certain fabrics can trigger flare-ups.
- Allergens – Pollen, pet dander, mold, and dust mites may worsen symptoms.
- Climate and Weather – Cold, dry air or hot, humid conditions can trigger eczema.
- Stress – Emotional stress can worsen symptoms and cause flare-ups.
- Hormonal Changes – Fluctuations in hormones, such as during pregnancy or menstruation, may affect eczema.
