Preventing eczema & dermatitis

Eczema is a form of dermatitis, a condition where areas of the skin become inflamed, itchy and red. The most common form of eczema is called atopic eczema which tends to run in families who have a history of other allergic conditions such as hayfever and asthma. Another common type of eczema is irritant contact dermatitis, where the skin becomes inflamed because of direct contact with a substance that irritates the skin. The hands are particularly vulnerable as these are the areas of the body that are most likely to come into contact with irritant substances. If repeated exposure to the irritant occurs, a person may develop allergic contact dermatitis. In this case, future contact with only very small amounts of the irritant will be sufficient to trigger an allergic skin reaction.
