Atopic eczema is an inflammatory condition of the skin characterized by a dry, red patchy rash that is irritating and itchy and can be found anywhere on the body. Although the cause is unknown, most believe the skin condition appears to be an abnormal response of the body's immune system. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 15 million people in the United States have some form of eczema.
Eczema is not contagious and cannot be cured but can be managed. You can help prevent eczema by avoiding triggers and keeping your skin moist.
