What is Eczema?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin to become dry, itchy, red, and inflamed. While the visible symptoms appear on your skin, eczema actually reflects deeper imbalances in your immune system, gut health, and inflammatory responses.
This condition involves complex interactions between genetics, immune function, skin barrier dysfunction, environmental factors, and gut health.

Common Causes of Eczema
