Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition characterized by itchy, scaly lesions on your skin. It is actually a blanket term and includes various types of skin inflammatory conditions like:
-Atopic Dermatitis (an allergic skin reaction usually seen in young children, but may persist till adult life)
-Asteatotic eczema (Extreme skin dryness)
-Hand and foot eczema
While eczema is more common in children, some people continue to have it right up till adulthood, or may even develop it for the first time during adulthood.
There usually are trigger factors for most eczemas such as food habits, contact with certain chemicals or detergents, seasonal changes etc.
The treatment of eczema is multifactorial. We evaluate your skin and lifestyle factors in detail, help you to identify triggering factors and provide appropriate treatments for you.
