Eczema explained
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a long-term skin condition that causes dry, itchy, inflamed patches that come and go.
Why eczema happens
The skin barrier is fragile and the immune system overreacts. Heat, sweat, chlorine, sea water, sunscreen, stress and new soaps can start a flare.
How eczema feels
- Flare-ups in the folds of elbows and knees
- Red or darker patches
- Dry, scaly skin
- Cracked or weeping skin
- Intense itching
