Eczema is a type of skin condition that cause the skin to become red, itchy, and inflamed. The most common form of eczema is called Atopic Dermatitis. Eczema can appear anywhere on the body but in adults it is usually seen on the neck, upper arms and back, elbow and knee creases, and back of the hands, feet, fingers and toes. The skin around the eyes, including eyelids, may also be affected.
Eczema Symptoms
The most common symptom of eczema is itch. Here are the other symptoms to look out for:
Itchiness
Dry, sensitive skin
Inflamed, discolored skin
Rough, leathery, or scaly patches of skin
Oozing or crusting
While there is no cure, eczema can be managed by identifying and avoiding the things that cause flareups and establishing a daily skin care routine.
Treatment of Eczema
Goals of treatment include relieving itch and hydrating to help restore the skin moisture barrier. Gentle skin care and liberal use of moisturizers are considered first-line therapy for management of eczema. So even when you are not experiencing a flare, basic management including trigger avoidance and moisturization is essential.
Experts advise using a moisturizer with colloidal oatmeal, such as Aveeno Dermexa products, these are clinically proven to help relieve the itching and irritation of eczema. Colloidal oatmeal is the only skin protectant ingredient FDA-approved for the treatment of eczema.

My personal favorite is the Aveeno Dermexa Daily Emollient Cream. I have eczema on my left foot, whenever I eat some foods that trigger my ezcema, I can feel my skin on my left foot is starting to itch and skin becomes dry. I will just apply the emollient cream for a few days and it will disappear.
