Introduction

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that affects millions worldwide, causing red, itchy, and inflamed patches that can disrupt daily life. At Arvin Skin Hospital, we understand the physical and emotional toll of eczema and offer cutting-edge treatments to help you achieve lasting relief. This article explores the causes, symptoms, and advanced therapies available at our state-of-the-art facility to manage eczema effectively.

What Is Eczema?

Eczema is an inflammatory condition characterized by dry, itchy, and red skin, often appearing on the face, hands, elbows, or knees. It commonly begins in childhood but can persist into adulthood, with flare-ups triggered by environmental or lifestyle factors. While not contagious, eczema can lead to discomfort, infections, and reduced self-confidence if left untreated.

Causes and Triggers

Eczema results from a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors:

Genetics: A family history of eczema, asthma, or allergies increases your risk.

Immune Dysfunction: An overactive immune system triggers inflammation, worsening symptoms.

Environmental Triggers: Common culprits include harsh soaps, detergents, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or extreme weather.

Stress and Diet: Emotional stress or certain foods (e.g., dairy, nuts) may exacerbate flare-ups.

Symptoms of Eczema

Red or brownish-gray patches

Intense itching, especially at night

Dry, scaly, or cracked skin

Small, raised bumps that may leak fluid

Thickened or leathery skin from chronic scratching
