Eczema & Dermatitis Treatment

Skin is constantly being exposed to the elements thus making it susceptible to various problems including dermatitis/eczema.

Dermatitis or Eczema is an inflammation of the skin, generally appearing as swollen, reddened and itchy. There are many different types of the disorder, each with a distinct sign which may affect all age groups each with its own symptoms the most common including redness, swelling, itching and skin lesions.

Eczema or Dermatitis is a common non life- threatening or contagious skin disorder, which often makes people uncomfortable and self-conscious.

In the UK alone one fifth of all school age children and one in twelve adults suffer with eczema. These figures do not take into account the number of babies with the problem.

It is a fact that when people with eczema swim in the sea every day their eczema clears.

On returning from holiday, 2/3 weeks later the itching starts again.

Stress can exacerbate atopic eczema.
