What is atopic eczema?
Atopic eczema is one of the most common skin disorders in the UK. While it is often a problem during childhood, it can frequently persist into adult life.
- Atopic eczema is intensely itchy and can interfere with school, work, sleep, relationships and social activities.
- Sufferers often have food allergies, asthma or hay fever too
- The primary cause for atopic eczema is a breakdown in the skin barrier. This occurs because of a genetic tendency which explains why atopic eczema runs in families
- Soaps and other irritants can damage the skin barrier further
- Treatment may be topical (creams), light based or tablet based
