Eczema also called as dermatitis, is a group of skin disorders. Atopic eczema,

allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, infantile seborrhoeic

eczema, adult seborrhoeic eczema, varicose eczema and discoid eczema are

different types of eczema. Atopic dermatitis is the most common type of eczema.

It mainly occurs among infants and small children. In more than 90% of cases,

eczema is found to occur in children below 5 years of age. It is a non

contagious disease.

Eczema is a skin condition characterized by redness, cracking, oozing and

scaling of the skin. This may be caused by the extremes of heat and cold and

even emotional stress. The patient usually complains of itching and burning in

the skin, especially at the night. Sores appear on various parts of the body,

but most often on the hands, feet, ears and legs. Eczema may come on at any time

of life and in either sex. The commoner manifestations are erythema changing to

papule, vesicle, crust, scale and fissure, with serous exudation. In chronic

cases, thick scales accumulate. This is the effect of local irritation by

chemical, thermal, or mechanical agents in a hypersensitive individual, subject

of an allergy or constitutional disabilities such as gout, chronic nephritis,

rheumatism, local sepsis, dyspepsia, alcoholism, uterine disturbances also

teething .in some cases heredity may be found. Papules, vesicles and pustules

with some degree of local oedema are found;

exudation, crusting and scaling with inflammation of varying severity may be

present. These tend to spread to the contiguous areas. One or both cheeks of

an infant or the ear, limbs or trunk are occasionally involved. In adults also

similar papulo- vesicular eruptions appear. Sensations of burning, smarting,

throbbing or itching are present, according to the acuteness of the process and

severity of the inflammation. When chronic the discharge diminishes or

disappears, leaving a thickened, irregular, scaly patch, fading at the margins.
