Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition causing dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, often appearing as red, itchy patches. While it can affect people of all ages, it’s most common in children and can flare up and subside over time.

Eczema can appear in various areas, but common spots include:

- Hands and feet
- Scalp
