Among skin diseases, almost 40% is accounted for by eczema. It is one type of dermatosis when the layers of the epidermis are affected by inflammation. It can be triggered by disruptions in the body’s functioning, exposure to chemical factors, or allergens. In any case, eczema treatment involves a comprehensive approach. This means that the disease needs to be treated from the inside and outside: follow a diet, take necessary medications, treat affected areas of the skin, etc.
