What is Eczema?

Eczema is a medical condition that causes inflamed, itchy, cracked, and sometimes blistered skin. About 10% of the American population is affected by a variety of this condition.

Types of Eczema

There are 7 types of eczema that each share these common symptoms:

1. Dry, scaly skin
2. Redness
3. Itching, sometimes intense
4. Each type of eczema has its own set of symptoms and causes.

1. Atopic Dermatitis

As the most common type of eczema, atopic dermatitis typically develops during childhood then lessens or resolves itself by adulthood. Doctors include atopic dermatitis in the atopic “triad,” which also includes asthma and hay fever. Usually, people with this skin condition have all three.

Symptoms

1. Atopic dermatitis symptoms include:
2. Rash that forms in the creases of your elbows and knees
3. Skin may turn lighter or darker or get thicker where the rash is located
4. Small bumps that leak fluid if you scratch them
5. Rash on the scalp and cheeks of babies
6. Skin infection from scratching

Causes

1. Genetics
2. Dry skin
3. Immune system issue
4. Environmental triggers

Atopic dermatitis occurs when the skin’s natural barrier is weakened, so your skin has less ability to protect you from irritants and allergens.

2) Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis occurs when you have a reaction to a substance you touched, whether its an allergic reaction to something like latex or metal or a reaction to an irritant like a chemical.

Symptoms

1. Contact dermatitis patients experience:
2. Itchy skin that turns red, burns, and stings
3. Hives, or itchy bumps on your skin
4. Crusty, fluid-filled blisters that may ooze

Causes

Contact dermatitis is the result of touching something that irritates your skin, such as:

1. Bleach
2. Jewelry
3. Detergents
4. Paint
5. Latex
6. Nickel
7. Soaps and perfumes
8. Solvents
9. Poisonous plants like poison ivy
10. Tobacco smoke
11. Skin care products and makeup

3) Dyshidrotic Eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema causes the formation of blisters on your hands and feet and is more common in women than men.

Symptoms

1. Dyshidrotic eczema patients experience:
2. Fluid-filled blisters on your palms, fingers, toes, and soles of your feet
3. Itchy or painful blisters
4. Scaly, cracked, and flaky skin

Causes

Causes of dyshidrotic eczema include:

4. Hand Eczema

Hand eczema is eczema that only affects your hands after being exposed to chemicals. People in professions like hairdressing and cleaning are more likely to develop this condition.

2. Patches that itch during relaxation or sleep
3. Patches that bleed and become infected if you scratch them

Causes

Doctors are unsure of what causes neurodermatitis, but it usually begins as a different type of eczema or psoriasis. Stress may also be a trigger.
