Summary

Description

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic condition that causes the skin to become extremely itchy. Persistent scratching can lead to redness, blisters that “weep” clear fluid, bleeding, and crusting of certain areas of the skin. People with eczema also can be more susceptible to bacterial, viral, and fungal skin infections.

People suffering from severe eczema come to NIH as part of a research program to better understand, prevent, and treat the disease. NIAID scientists evaluate each case and may decide to use wet wrap therapy to bring the condition under control. The researchers also provide training on home-based skin care to help patients and/or their caregivers properly manage flare-ups once they leave the hospital. Credit: NIAID
