Eczema: Signs, Symptoms, and Complications!

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is an inflammatory skin condition that causes a scaly, inflamed, itchy rash.
It can affect people of all ages, but it occurs more frequently in children, especially before age five, than in adults.

Although the exact cause of eczema is unknown, it’s believed to be the result of both genetic and environmental factors.
Since no tests can diagnose eczema, doctors diagnose it based on a physical exam and whether the symptoms meet specific diagnostic criteria.
