eczema
Eczema is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin and is often triggered by certain allergens or irritants. There are a few different types of eczema, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. To help manage eczema symptoms, it's important to keep the affected area moisturized and avoid any known triggers. Also applying topical treatments like hydrocortisone cream or prescription ointments can be helpful.
