About eczema
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, redness, and itching and is treatable by UVB Phototherapy. It can affect people of all ages and appears in various forms, each with unique triggers and characteristics. Though the exact cause is not fully understood, eczema often results from a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Managing eczema involves identifying triggers, following a skincare routine, and, in some cases, using prescribed treatments to soothe symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
