There are several types of Eczema, however; the most common is Atopic Dermatitis or AD. This skin condition affects a person within the first six months of life but will disappear as a person reaches adulthood. Some people may have an occasional flare-up throughout life. Eczema manifests as a red, itchy rash on the cheeks, arms, and legs and can be associated with Asthma and hay fever. Atopic Dermatitis is not a transmittable disease and is usually treated by applying cream to relieve the itch and keep the skin moist to prevent infection.
