Eczema is a very common skin condition and it is thus important to know about proper eczema management. This is possible in newborn babies as well as elderly people. It is nothing but a dry skin disorder and some of the symptoms of eczema include redness, rashes along with itching in the skin. The condition is recurrent in nature wherein it occurs mostly in the winter season and less common in the summer. It also varies from area to area  and people living in cold regions are more susceptible to this than those living in humid conditions. Eczema treatment and management includes moisturizing the skin by using some gels. It is better to use gels that do not contain any preservatives or perfumes and the suitable one can be chosen by consulting a dermatologist. Specific medications are advised by the doctors to manage this condition like taking one finger unit and applying it on the palm area but the gel can be applied all over the body after taking a lukewarm water shower. It is also advisable to wear cotton clothes rather than woolen dresses to stop the aggravation of the condition. Certain food items like nuts, fried foods can be avoided to manage the skin condition. Dr. Harikishan Kumar, a consultant dermatologist and cosmetologist from Bangalore speaks about the management and treatment of Eczema.
