What is eczema? (video)

In this short video from DermTV, Dr. Neal Schultz defines and explains Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis).:


Eczema is often associated with:
  • Allergic rhinitis (hayfever)
  • Asthma
Eczema Facts:
  • Usually begins in infancy or early childhood.
  • Tends to be hereditary.
  • True eczema is a medical condition called Atopic Dermatitis.
  • The term "Eczema" is often misused to describe other types of rashes.
  • Eczema is very itchy, red and bumpy.
Tomorrow we'll discuss the treatment of true Atopic Dermatitis. Have you experienced eczema first hand or have a family member who suffers from atopic dermatitis?
