What Eczema Is and How Types Differ
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and irritated patches. While it often begins in childhood, it can persist or flare up for the first time during adulthood. Finding long-term relief requires a customized approach that addresses both active symptoms and the underlying skin barrier function.

No. Eczema is an inflammatory condition driven by genetics and environmental factors; it cannot be spread from person to person.
While both cause dry, inflamed skin, eczema typically causes intense itching and softer-bordered, weeping patches, whereas psoriasis creates thick, scaly plaques with clearly defined borders.
Certain food allergies can worsen eczema symptoms, particularly in young children, but diet alone is rarely the sole cause. Your provider can help evaluate potential dietary triggers.
