ABOUT ECZEMA (atopic dermatitis)

Take a deeper look at eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition that affects millions of people nationwide. And for every one of those affected, the experience can be different. Symptoms can begin during childhood or much later in life and range from mild to severe. Eczema can also look and feel different from person to person.

Signs and symptoms of moderate-to-severe eczema may include:

  • Intense itching
  • Inflamed skin that looks red or discolored, depending on skin tone
  • Bumpy skin
  • Oozing skin
  • Thickening of the skin
  • Scaly skin

Eczema may look different depending on skin tone.
