Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Eczema is a chronic disease that causes long term inflammation of the skin which begins in the first six months of life.

Even though eczema is not contagious, severe cases can cause serious health problems; the barrier function of the skin is less effective and an increase in bacterial infections of the skin can be observed.
