Eczema has been regarded as a long-term inflammatory condition of the skin, causing itching, redness and lesions/eruptions on the skin. Commonly, it is known to affect about 20% children and about 1 to 2% adults across the world. It is also known to affect people at any age; however, it is frequently observed in infants. Among infants, eczema generally tends to disappear by the age of three, but it may continue into adulthood for a few patients. This condition affects both sexes.

Even though eczema is not a life-threatening condition, it can have a remarkable impact on a patient’s life. Additionally, a patient may suffer from issues such as discomfort from the condition, altered self-image, anxiety about the nature of the disease, etc., which the physician also needs to focus on while treating the patients.

Phases of the disease may range from symptoms getting worse to get better by themselves, which implicates an unpredictable course in several patients. However, early diagnosis and treatment can provide relief to patients from the associated, bothersome symptoms.

Research has shown that homeopathy offers a significant improvement in eczema without any side effects as compared to other conventional treatments.
