The Itch that Rashes
Skin Spotlight. Eczema Treatment.

Many Americans suffer from Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, especially during the dry fall/winter months. This chronic, "itch that rashes" affects approximately
10-20% of the world population during childhood. In nearly half of these children, the disease will improve greatly by the time they are between five and 15 years of age. Others will have some form of the disease throughout their lives.

The best way to find out if you have eczema is to see a dermatologist. There are several types of eczema, and other skin conditions can resemble eczema. It takes experience to accurately diagnose these conditions. Treatment often is ineffective without an accurate diagnosis. Although eczema may look different from person to person, dry, red, extremely itchy patches on the skin most often characterize it. Eczema can occur on just about any part of the body.
