Characterizing a skin disorder, the term 'eczema' has
been derived from a Greek word, which means 'to boil'. There are various
types of eczema that can affect a person - atopic eczema, allergic
contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, infantile seborrhoeic
eczema, adult seborrhoeic eczema, varicose eczema and discoid eczema.
Eczema causes inflammation of the skin and formation of pustules. At
times, pus or fluid also comes out from the pustules. Though a non
contagious disease, it might be a serious problem during infancy, which
usually lessens with adulthood. Read the following lines to know more
