As the cause of eczema is still not fully understood it makes dealing with the condition a problem as some believe that genetic factors are involved; perhaps in time a definitive answer will become available. This skin condition is easy to recognize with areas of dry, red skin that are very itchy. This dryness can lead to what appears to be a 'crusty' surface that may exhibit blistering.

Although there are a number of different types, the most common is atopic eczema; however, all forms share one main symptom: that of severe itching. Scratching helps, especially with atopic eczema but this is guaranteed to worsen the situation and make it flare up. Unfortunately a serious side effect is the skin becomes much more sensitive; sufferers avoid contact with soaps and washing powders but other man-made items such as make-up can have the same effect as well.

The situation in small children doesn't look as severe at first as the patchy red skin is not on the skins surface but below it. The one consistent factor with eczema is the itchy skin; if this 'itchiness' is not present in a person who suffers with the condition then it is unlikely to be a symptom of it. However, if the itching has been somehow improved by eczema treatment but the rash has not, then the rash may not be related to the itch.

Another problem to be aware of before this disorder is diagnosed, is that other conditions have itching as a symptom of a medical condition. Eczema itching and rashes go hand in hand but medical science still can't full explain why the skin itches the way it does. The red skin is often an indication of increased blood in the area of the rash which may be the result of the sufferer scratching themselves.

In cases of eczema, the process of the skin inflammation is a very complex one and can be triggered by many different factors; it can also flare up if your skin gets infected by a bacteria.

Every sufferer is warned about blisters as they can be damaged by scratching or carelessness and whilst some are filled with fluid, others have a pus like substance; further infection is almost assured if the blisters are damaged, this is why scratching can just aggravate an already sensitive condition.
