Best Skin Allergy Doctor in Bangalore – Eczema

Eczema is the name for a group of conditions that cause the skin to become red, itchy and inflamed. There are several types of eczema: atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, nummular eczema, seborrheic dermatitis and stasis dermatitis.

It's most common for babies and children to develop eczema on their face (especially the cheeks and chin), but it can appear anywhere on the body. The symptoms may differ from one child to the other. Mostly, it goes away as a child grows older though some children will continue to experience eczema into adulthood.

Adults can develop eczema, too, even if they never had it as a child. Psoriasis is not at all contagious.

Symptoms:

• Dry, sensitive skin
• Red, inflamed skin
• Very bad itching
• Dark colored patches of skin
• Rough, leathery or scaly patches of skin
• Oozing or crusting
• Areas of swelling

You may experience one or more of the above symptoms but only the doctor can confirm if it is eczema.

Managing Eczema:

• If you know what has led to this situation, then avoiding to the exposure of the same helps.
• A daily bathing and moisturizing routine certainly helps
• Use prescribed medication consistently
