ECZEMA TREATMENT

Eczema is a non-infectious, reoccurring, inflammatory skin condition. Eczema affects 1 in 3 Australians at some stage throughout their lives. The condition is most common in those who have a family member with eczema.

Skin flare ups associated with eczema are often for no apparent reason. The skin becomes red, inflamed, dry, itchy and scaly and in more severe case, the skin may bleed, weep and crust over. Eczema causes significant discomfort to sufferers.
Eczema usually affects young children (2 to 6 months of age), and quite often clears up around the age of 6 years. Eczema can however affect people of all ages.
