What is eczema?
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis characterized by intense dryness that weakens the skin barrier. The skin barrier no longer protects against damaging external factors, allowing irritants or allergens to penetrate, causing an inflammatory reaction. The main symptoms are itching, which leads to scratching and the appearance of red plaques that can be painful and can even become infected. This is an eczema lesion. Eczema progresses through phases of flare-ups with the appearance of visible skin lesions, followed by phases of remission, with no apparent lesions but where the skin barrier remains weakened.
Eczema can affect babies, children and adults, and can appear in various locations on the face, eyelids, body or hands.
Many factors may trigger or aggravate eczema such as stress, pollution or significant changes in weather. There is a genetic factor at play in atopic eczema.
Daily eczema care is therefore necessary to treat the condition and to strengthen the skin barrier.
