Eczema
Eczema is a common skin condition that can leave the skin dry, itchy and easily irritated. Its symptoms often come and go, and flares may be linked with temperature, stress or substances that irritate the skin.
Key points
- A weakened skin barrier can make affected areas more sensitive to everyday irritants.
- Moisturisers help protect the skin when used regularly.
- Inflammation can make patches red, sore or weepy as well as dry.
Medicines listed for eczema
