What is Eczema? Eczema is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that is characterized by itchy, red, and dry patches on the skin. It is also known as atopic dermatitis and is estimated to affect over 31 million Americans. Eczema can occur at any age, although it is more common in children. It can be triggered by a variety of factors such as genetics, environmental factors, allergens, food, and stress. Eczema is not contagious and cannot be spread from one person to another.
