Eczema

Eczema is an inherited condition most commonly seen in people who suffer from allergies and asthma. Characterized by inflamed itchy skin, eczema is often treated by topical steroids, topical immune modulating agent and the frequent application of moisturizer.

It is also recommended that people who suffer from eczema bathe with lukewarm water as hot water may dry out the skin and make itching worse, wash with gentle non-soap cleansers instead of strong soaps, apply a super-emollient moisturizer immediately after bathing and wear soft clothing made of cotton instead of scratchy or synthetic fabrics.
