Neurodermatitis is a much less common form of eczema and it localized to an itchy patch of thick, pigmented skin, which results from habitual scratching. Usually it is not widespread but localized to a small area of skin. The best cures are a change in lifestyle and certain forms of medication.

Eczema is a type of dermatitis, it causes sufferers to have an inflammation of the skin, itchy rashes, dryness of the skin, scaling, blistering, and occasioanally bleeding. Classification of eczema depends largely upon the symptoms experienced. Commonly occurring types of eczema are discussed below.

Atopic eczema is the allergic hypersensitivity of skin to chemical or natural irritants, foods and environmental allergens, which can cause the skin to become red, flaky and very itchy. Atopic eczema is thought to be the most common form of eczema, and is partly hereditary. Incidences of atopic eczema are primarily visible on the patient’s facial region, neck, limbs, and buttocks.

Contact dermatitis is bodily reaction towards some chemical substance which otherwise being normal, causes eczema to develop in some people. It could be a delayed response to a specific allergen. Contact eczema is relieved by soothing the skin with moisturizers and sometimes by using medicated creams and lotions. If it is possible to avoid the allergens responsible for the outbreak then it is possible to ‘cure’ yourself, although few people even know what they are allergic to.

Xerotic eczema or ‘winter pinch’ is actually a condition of dry skin, which can become severe enough to develop into a form of eczema. Dry and cold weather in winter leaves the skin dry and itchy. If proper care is not taken then the skin turns scaly and flaky. This form of eczema is very common in older people.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis, better known as ‘cradle cap’, affects the scalp of infants making it scaly, red, and quite often itchy. Cradle cap usually occurs in first 3 months of birth. If not treated it can spread to the ears and face over time. It affects around 50% of infants, though it is almost always mild in nature and rarely reaches severe stages. One study on Australian infants indicate 15% infants carrying the eczema into their teenage years.

Dyshidrotic eczema affects the limbs, small itchy bumps called vesicles develop on the fingers, palms or the soles of your feet. Mental or physical stresses are thought to contribute to it, but it is also known to run in families. Warm and humid weather aggravates dyshidrosis.

There are various other types of eczema which are not as common, as a result of the rareness of these there isn’t actually that much known about them. Sometimes virus infections or underlying diseases like lymphoma can cause eczema. It is believed to occur via either consumption of allergens or through some form of contact with them.
