Eczema comes in many different forms and can have different causes. When you have eczema you usually recognize this by the red (itchy) spots on your skin. Eczema can start out moist, with blisters on the skin. Later the skin is dry, with flakes.
If you are unsure whether you suffer from eczema, please contact your doctor or dermatologist.
What is Eczema?
Eczema is a collective name for various types of skin conditions. You may suffer from atopic or constitutional eczema (these are the same) or, for example, seborrheic eczema (at the scalp).
In eczema, the skin barrier is disrupted, so that the skin retains moisture less well.
The skin dries out faster and irritating or harmful substances can penetrate it more easily. The result: dry, itchy and often flaky skin, which is difficult to repair on its own.
Eczema can be a chronic condition. With large spots or multiple spots on the body.

The physical complaints caused by eczema can in turn cause other complaints. For example, think of a bad night's sleep.
Applying care cream or ointment can help to keep the eczema calmer. This way you reduce complaints of itching and dry skin.
