Skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis are becoming more and more common. Today we'd like to provide you with information on the causes of and treatment possibilities for these often itchy skin problems.

The symptoms of eczema are generally very similar. It begins with a reddening and swelling (oedema) of the skin and then small blisters form. These blisters then begin to release fluid which in turn forms a scaly crust.

Eczema is also called dermatitis when it is in its acute phase. If the skin condition is recurring it is then referred to as chronic eczema. It's of course also possible that multiple phases occur simultaneously, for example reddening of the skin in some areas while in others the hard itchy crust has already formed. The main problem associated with eczema is the intense itching. The skin condition itself as well as scratching can damage the skin and so make it more prone to bacterial or fungal infection, which in turn increases fluid production by the skin. It's a viscous cycle.

There are always triggers for eczema. A trigger for the skin condition can be external (exogenous) or internal (endogenous). When the cause of the condition is outside the body the condition is known as contact eczema or more commonly contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis can be brought on by contact with an allergen (i.e. allergic eczema) or contact with a skin irritant – this is the most common type of contact eczema.

If the cause of the condition is internal the condition is called atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis.
