Eczema is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation, itching and redness. It often manifests as dry, scaly patches on the skin.
🚨 High risk: Eczema itself is usually not dangerous, but it can significantly reduce your quality of life due to discomfort and itching. If not treated properly, it can lead to complications such as skin infections or significant aesthetic changes.
💊 Treatment: Treatment and diagnosis of eczema depend on the severity of your symptoms. If you suspect you have eczema, it is best to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. The urgency depends on the symptoms and severity.
💡 Skin Self-Exams tips: Regular skin self-examinations are essential to monitor any changes and progression of eczema. Do these exams regularly, especially if you or your family has a history of eczema or if you notice the first signs appearing in the form of redness, itching, flaking. If you notice such changes or a worsening of existing symptoms, see your doctor immediately.
