Eczema Treatment

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It commonly appears as red, scaly patches that can be extremely uncomfortable and may significantly impact quality of life. At Sarojini Devi Skin Hospital, we offer comprehensive eczema treatment solutions to help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve skin health.

What Causes Eczema?

Eczema is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. People with eczema often have a compromised skin barrier function, making their skin more sensitive to irritants and allergens. Common triggers include:

• Dry skin
• Irritants (soaps, detergents, certain fabrics)
• Allergens (dust mites, pet dander, pollen)
• Food allergies
• Stress
• Hormonal changes
• Climate conditions (extreme heat or cold, humidity)
