Eczema is a skin rash or inflammation characterized by blistering, cracking, itching, oozing, redness, or scaling. The skin often becomes thick and discolored due to constant scratching. Eczema is common, recurrent, and sometimes persistent, but it is not contagious. Most affected children usually outgrow the condition by puberty.

Try to determine the substances that cause allergic reactions or skin irritation in you and avoid them as best as you can.
