  • Eczema is a chronic skin condition and is also called dermatitis. The most common type is atopic eczema, in which a dry, itchy rash develops.

    Atopic eczema usually starts in infancy or childhood but many children outgrow it. Occasionally, adults develop it. Eczema is not dangerous or contagious but it can cause discomfort and distress, including social stress for children and job difficulties for adults.
