Eczema (Atopic dermatitis) is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy and red often leading to dry, cracked skin and even painful sores. Although it can affect anyone regardless of age, it is very common in children and can begin before the age of 5 and lead into adolescence and adulthood.

Symptoms may vary, but typically include:

• Itching
• Small raised bumps, which may leak fluid when scratched
• Thickened, scaly skin
• Sensitive or swollen skin which results from scratching
