Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a type of skin condition that is not constantly visible but has sporadic flare-ups. Eczema typically appears as red and rash-like, sometimes containing tiny blisters filled with fluid. Almost every patient with eczema experiences itchiness. Eczema outbreaks can appear in the form of sporadic plaques and can occur at any age. The cause of this condition is due to a gene variation that inhibits the skin’s ability to retain the moisture necessary to protect the skin from outer environmental factors and bacteria, which can easily affect the skin.
