Eczema (also called Dermatitis) is a general term to describe skin inflammation – dry, red, itchy skin. There are many types and causes of eczema. Children often have a type of eczema known as atopic dermatitis. The cause is unknown, but tends to run in families and is often associated with asthma and hay fever. In adults, eczema is often triggered by dry skin. Additionally, some patients present with eczema related to an allergy.
