Home Remedies for Eczema deals specifically with eczema as we call it, or as dermatologists refer to it .... atopic dermatitis.
Dermatitis is a general term for any type of inflammation of the skin which includes eczema.
Our mission is always to keep things simple and keep them real, so we are starting off by explaining (in simple terms) what the symptoms of eczema are.
The inflammation of the skin which typicallly appears on the face, in the bends of the elbows and behind the knees that accompanies eczema can produce the following symptoms.
There are several underlying problems which we have listed below that can lead to eczema.
