Eczema

Eczema is a term used to describe many forms of skin inflammation. Nearly a quarter of the world's young children will experience a skin condition that will eventually clear up naturally, and 15 million Americans will experience eczema overall. Eczema is commonly marked by an itching sensation that blooms into a rash. Adults may also have eczema if they are genetically predisposed toward developing skin conditions. There are lotions and creams that can effectively treat eczema. Cold compresses are also effective in relieving itching.
