Eczema is a common allergic skin disease that often starts in childhood. Symptoms include dry, sensitive skin that is itchy, red, or cracked with scaly rashes. The severity of itching can also increase at night, affecting sleep and daily activities. Common triggers include allergens like food, pet dander, or dust mites. Even soaps, detergents, lotions, and fragrances can trigger symptoms.
