This year's National Eczema Week is from 17-25 September 2016.
Atopic eczema (also known as dermatitis) is the most common form of eczema and often occurs in people who have allergies such as hay fever. A number of factors appear to play a part in the development of eczema. These include abnormalities in the inflammatory and allergy responses, and defects in the oily (lipid) skin barrier. This can lead to increased water loss and a tendency towards dry skin, and can make the skin more susceptible to irritation and infection, resulting in rashes and inflammation. Eczema symptoms usually have certain triggers such as soap, detergents, changing temperatures, dust, animal dander, pollens and moulds.
Eczema symptoms vary from person to person and can affect any part of the body. It is important to avoid scratching affected skin as this increases the likelihood of infection and skin damage. Treatment strategies usually focus on avoiding trigger factors and keeping skin well hydrated with emollients and moisturisers.
