What is Eczema in adults?

Eczema is a form of skin rash that can result from a variety of causes and can affect all age groups. The clinical presentation and course of the condition tends to differ between adults and children and management and nature of the disability may be different.

Eczema is also known “dermatitis” and there is no clear distinction between these two terms which are used synonymously.
