Types of Eczema
Types of Eczema
When we think of eczema we generally think of an allergic disposition leading to a red itchy rash on children. This type of eczema is known as atopic eczema and it is by far the most common form of eczema. It is however not the only type of eczema.
Atopic Eczema
This is the most common form of eczema and is closely associated with hay fever and asthma.
The most common symptom of atopic eczema is itchiness. There is also an overall dryness of the skin, redness and inflammation. Constant scratching can also cause the skin to split, leaving it more likely to become infected.

Contact Dermatitis
There are two types of contact dermatitis - irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.
Irritant contact dermatitis is caused by frequent contact with everyday substances which are irritating to the skin. Prevention of this eczema is simple - avoid the irritants and keep the skin moist.
Allergic contact dermatitis is the result of an allergic reaction resulting when the body comes in direct contact with a substance that the body sees as an allergen. In order to stop reactions it is best to prevent contact with anything that you know causes a rash.
