Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Eczema, also called dermatitis, is a skin condition that becomes inflamed, red, and itchy, and that usually goes through periods of improvement and flare-ups.
Common symptoms:
- Itching, sometimes intense
- Dry, red, or rough skin
- Areas that may flake or thicken over time
Common causes: Factors of sensitive skin, family history, and contact with substances or environments that irritate it all play a role.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the right professional to study and follow up on eczema, with the pediatric dermatologist when it affects children. If the itching or skin lesions persist or recur, it is worth scheduling a consultation to identify what triggers them.
