Indications:

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis):

• Definition: Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that often involves an itchy rash on the face, inner elbows, behind the knees, and other areas. It is common in individuals with a family history of allergic conditions.
• Causes: Eczema can be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Factors such as stress, hormonal changes, irritating substances, food allergies, respiratory infections, and exposure to certain chemicals can contribute to its development.
• Symptoms: Common symptoms include itching, red patches, bumps, and scaly skin. In severe cases, the skin may become cracked, weepy, and prone to infection.

Dermatitis:

• Definition: Dermatitis is a broader term that refers to inflammation of the skin. It can manifest in various forms, and there are different types of dermatitis, including contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis.
• Causes: Dermatitis can be caused by a variety of factors, such as exposure to irritants or allergens, genetic predisposition, stress, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions.
• Symptoms: Symptoms of dermatitis can include rashes, blisters, dry/cracked skin, itching, redness, swelling, and a stinging or burning sensation. The specific symptoms may vary depending on the type of dermatitis.

It's important to note that while eczema is a type of dermatitis, not all dermatitis is eczema. The treatment for both conditions often involves managing symptoms and avoiding triggers. Topical corticosteroids, moisturizers, and antihistamines are commonly used to alleviate symptoms. If you suspect you have either condition, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
