Eczema
Eczema is an inflammation of the skin that causes the skin to become dry, red and often itchy. You may get eczema if the skin’s outer protective layer has weakened or damaged. For example, it may be due to dry skin, abrasion or that you have come into contact with substances that irritate the skin or that you are allergic to. Eczema is not contagious.
