Are you familiar with Eczema symptoms?
Eczema is a skin condition that causes an inflammation in the upper layers of the skin.
Here are some common symptoms:
- Dry reddened skin that itches or burns
- Recurring skin rashes
- May lead to blistering or lesions that ooze
- Most commonly occur on face, neck, folds of skin(insides of elbows, knees & ankles)
- Repeated scratching can lead to crusty skin
- In children it can occur on forehead, cheeks, forearms, legs, scalp or neck.
Any of these symptoms means that your skin has lost its topmost barrier and is now reacting to the environment in a ultra-sensitive way.
Unfortunately, hydrocortisone and other lotions are not only ineffective but also set your skin up for a bigger flare-up later.
