Understanding Eczema

Eczema is a chronic skin condition causing dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Triggers include allergies, stress, irritants, and environmental factors. Common types:

  • Atopic Dermatitis: Dry, itchy patches on joints.
  • Contact Dermatitis: Reaction to soaps, detergents, or perfumes.
  • Seborrheic Dermatitis: Often affects the scalp.
  • Nummular Eczema: Coin-shaped patches on arms, legs, or back.

Treatment includes moisturizers, topical steroids, and antihistamines.

Understanding Hives

Hives are raised, red, itchy welts that appear suddenly. Triggers include foods, medications, insect stings, or physical stimuli. Hives can be acute or chronic and sometimes require medical evaluation.
