Eczema is a skin disorder with symptoms such as rashes, swelling, redness, dry crusting flaky skin and itchiness. My nephew suffered from eczema from the age of two. But has since controlled the symptoms of eczema after a year of trying out various eczema treatments. Eczema is an incurable skin disorder but with the right eczema treatments, the symptoms are manageable. Although dermatologists prescribe corticosteroids to relieve eczema symptoms, it is not advisable to rely on steroid-based medication in the long-term. One major side-effect of corticosteroids, in prolonged use, is increased risks of skin thinning and becoming fragile.
