Eczema is a skin condition. In this patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some types can also cause blisters. The most common type of eczema is called atopic dermatitis. It usually develops in childhood and is more common in people with family history of the condition.

Certain substances or conditions trigger eczema to flare-up. These include soaps and detergents, wool, skin infections, dry skin, low humidity, heat, sweating or emotional stress. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, moulds, or foods also trigger eczema.

Many homoeopathic medicines are known to be effective in treatment as well as prevention of eczema. Homeopathy treats eczema in two phases: in the first phase, the medicines control itching. In the next phase, they heal the lesions and control further progression of eczema.

It can successfully reduce the body's sensitivity to the environmental allergens that cause the disease, thereby leading to cure.
