Eczema is a common skin condition characterised by intense itching and redness of the skin. It can appear in different forms, such as dry, scaly rashes, fluid-filled blisters or swollen, inflamed areas of skin.
Although it is often aggravated by factors such as stress, food allergies or temperature changes, there is no single cause for eczema. Fortunately, there are many treatments available to relieve eczema symptoms and improve skin health.
Soothing moisturisers, topical medications and precautionary measures such as using mild soaps and lukewarm water can all help to reduce symptoms and prevent eczema flare-ups.
