Studies show that eczema affects almost 3% of adults and children and about 10-20% of infants. Eczema is a medical condition that causes inflamed and irritated skin. It comes in different types such as contact dermatitis, stasis dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, nummular eczema, dyshidrotic eczema and seborrheic dermatitis. This skin condition can be controlled with proper care and treatment. You need to know the symptoms before you rush to a physician.
The Symptoms of Eczema
The signs of Eczema are different for everyone. Your skin inflammation may not look the same as it looks on another adult. Eczema becomes visible in different parts of the body at different times. Eczema is generally itchy, and for many individuals, the itching can be mild or moderate. But, in many cases, it is seen that the condition has worsened and has led to extremely inflamed skin. Most often, people start scratching the skin until it bleeds, which makes the condition worse.
What should you look for:
? Sensitive and dry skin
? Inflamed and red skin
? Extreme itching
? Formation of crusts and oozing
? Swelled areas
? Scaly and rough patches of skin
? Patches of dark color on skin
No matter which area of the skin is affected, it appears very thickened and scaly. Fair-complexion individuals have reddish rashes which turn brown, whereas, in case of dark-skinned people, eczema changes skin pigmentation, making the affected area darker or lighter
You may have a few signs of eczema or all of these. However, the only way to know whether you have eczema or not is to visit a dermatologist. He or she can inspect the problem and suggests medical treatments.
