WHAT IS ECZEMA?

Eczema starts inside the body

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic condition. People who suffer from eczema are often caught in an itch-scratch cycle, where inflammation under the skin triggers itch, which causes the urge to scratch. Scratching damages the skin, which can lead to more inflammation, itching, and scratching.

Scratching

Itching

Immune cells beneath the skin send inflammatory signals to the surface. This is what makes you think, “I really need to scratch my skin.”

Scratching

Scratching can further damage an already weakened skin barrier, which allows germs, irritants, and allergens to enter the body.

Inflammation

As a result, immune cells continue sending inflammatory signals to the surface, creating a cycle of inflammation, itching, and scratching.

Facts about eczema

  • Eczema is a chronic condition, which means it’s present in the body even when you’re not flaring.
  • Eczema can present differently, based upon age. It commonly appears on the face, hands, feet, knees, neck, elbows, and ankles.
  • While many children outgrow eczema, 1 in 5 continue to experience relapses as adults.
  • Go-to topical eczema treatments like creams, ointments, and lotions treat symptoms on the surface, but they may not always be enough, and the itchy flares persist.
