Skin diseases are common among everyone. In this world almost 80% people suffers from skin disease. One day my 8 years old sister told me that she was having itching and redness on her hands, legs and face. And I came to recognized that she was having eczema. First the problem was not acute but after sometimes it became a serious problem for that little girl.
Eczema is commonly known as dermatitis. Some people say it is contagious but it’s not. If your ancestors had gone through this problem then there is a possibility that you might go through the same disease. Inflammation and irritation occurs when you are having eczema.
