Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition that affects about 10% of children, with 60% having symptoms in their first year and 90% showing signs before the age of 5. Itchy, red, flaky dry skin is common, along with small bumps that break open with scratching, which can cause infection. Eczema typically runs in families and can be managed with lifestyle and medical treatments.
