Understanding Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Causes, Symptoms & Treatment Eczema, medically known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes dryness, redness, and intense itching. It often begins in childhood but can persist or flare up in adults. Triggers include allergens, stress, seasonal changes, and harsh soaps that damage the skin barrier. What Causes Eczema? Eczema develops when the skin’s natural moisture barrier is weak, allowing irritants to penetrate easily. Genetics, immune reactions, and environmental factors contribute to flareups. People with a family history of asthma or allergies are more prone to develop eczema.
