Eczema (or atopic dermatitis) is a common and chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and irritated skin, and may appear as red, inflamed, or scaly patches in different areas of the body, especially the hands, face, and elbows. The severity of eczema varies from person to person and may be exacerbated by factors such as stress, allergies, dry climate, or certain chemicals. At the Horizon Medical Care Center in Ibri, We offer a comprehensive treatment plan to control eczema symptoms, soothe inflammation, and prevent recurrence, using topical, pharmacological, and supportive therapies.

The most common types of eczema:

1. Atopic eczema: The most common type, often seen in childhood.

2. Contact eczema: It is caused by skin irritation from certain substances (such as soap or perfume).

3. Dry eczema (Pokémonia): Appears in dry areas of the body and often in the elderly.

4. Hand eczema: It affects the hands due to the frequent use of detergents or chemicals.
