Did you know?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is a condition that effects the skin causing redness, itching and in some cases infection.
People suffering from eczema will cause their skin to not efficiently retain moisture, causing it to dry out easily, making the skin more open to allergens and irritants that can trigger the skin to release chemicals that make the skin itchy. Scratching itchy skin causes more chemicals to release making the skin feel itchier, creating the scratch and itch cycle.
Eczema is a chronic health problem that effects people of all ages, if you suspect yourself or someone you know has eczema our pharmacists are always available to help and answer any questions you have.
