- Rash
- Inflamed skin

7 Types of Eczema
- Atopic Dermatitis: The most common type of eczema, which causes inflammation, dryness and itchy skin. The most common symptom is itch, which can lead to rashes, pain and poor sleep.
- Contact Dermatitis: Brought on by an allergic reaction to an environmental trigger. Skin becomes inflamed and itchy after an irritant or allergen touches the skin.
- Dyshidrotic Eczema: Causes small, itchy blisters to develop on the edges of the fingers, toes, palms and soles of the feet which can be painful and often lead to cracked, scaly skin as they heal. Triggers include stress, exposure to certain allergens/irritants, seasonal allergies or excessive moisture on the hands and feet.
- Neurodermatitis: Starts with a patch of itchy skin that becomes more irritated when scratched, leading to a cycle of itching and scratching. It often results in thick, leathery patches of skin and can be triggered by stress or localized irritation.
- Nummular eczema: Round, coin-shaped patches of irritated skin that are often itchy, inflamed or oozing. These lesions are most commonly found on the arms, legs or torso and can become crusty or scaly over time. They appear more commonly in teens and adults. This condition is often linked to very dry skin, particularly during the winter, or following an injury such as a cut, insect bite or burn.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: Also known as “cradle cap” in infants. A chronic form of eczema that affects oily areas of the body, such as the scalp, face (around the nose and eyebrows) and/or upper chest. It causes red, greasy and inflamed skin covered with white or yellowish scales.
- Stasis Dermatitis: Occurs when there is poor circulation in the legs. The condition typically presents with swelling, redness and itching, with the skin becoming dry, scaly and discolored over time. In severe cases, open sores or ulcers may form, increasing the risk of infection.
Eczema Treatment
For mild or severe eczema, basic eczema care includes:
- Use a gentle cleanser
- Frequent moisturizing to lock moisture into the skin to help repair the skin barrier
- It’s important to discuss your treatment options with your healthcare provider to assess what works best for you.
