Eczema is a disorder which results in dry, inflamed and sometimes weeping or infected skin. It can cause redness and intense itching. There is no cure - only different ways of managing the condition.
It affects up to 30% of the Australian population.
The main type is atopic or infantile eczema, which is usually inherited, and often allied to asthma and hay fever.
