Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition marked by dry, itchy, inflamed patches. It can be triggered by environmental factors, allergens, or stress and affects all ages. Recognizing causes and triggers is vital for management. Treatments may involve moisturisers, topical steroids, and lifestyle changes to alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Holistic approaches like aromatherapy and mindfulness can further enhance skin health and well-being.
