What is eczema?
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by intense dryness that weakens the skin barrier. The skin barrier no longer protects against damaging external factors, thus allowing irritants or allergens to penetrate, causing an inflammatory reaction. The main symptoms of eczema are itching, which leads to scratching and the appearance of red plaques (known as lesions) that can be painful and can become infected. 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 people of any age: babies, children or adults, and may appear on different areas of the body: face, eyelids, body or hands.
Many factors may trigger or aggravate eczema such as stress, pollution, perspiration or significant changes in weather. There is a genetic factor at play in atopic eczema.
Daily eczema care is necessary to treat the condition and to strengthen the skin barrier.
Once you have been diagnosed by your doctor, there are different types of effective eczema treatments. The more you know about them, the better prepared you can be.
