cause an itchy, inflamed skin rash.
Atopic dermatitis, a very common form of eczema, is a non-contagious disorder characterized by chronically inflamed skin and sometimes intolerable itching.
There are many diseases associated with allergic and stress disorders that are referred by atopic dermatitis. Many of these diseases are associated with respiratory system, such as hay fever and asthma for example.
Of course atopic dermatitis does not have any age barriers. It can appear at any age but still, it is observed that there is a high tendency for young adults and children to contract the condition. Usually the visual symptoms will start appearing before the age of 25. Anyway, these symptoms do not have an affect on the individual’s general health.
Another well known type of eczema is one that ten percent of babies develop. It is called infantile eczema and mostly identified by skin that becomes encrusted and oozed. If the baby is suffering from eczema, the face and scalp will show the symptoms. Usually infantile eczema improves drastically and can expect to disappear when the baby is two years of age. Although this happens naturally, it is advised to keep the baby under medical supervision.
