The Eczemas
The terms ‘eczema’ or
‘vicharchika’are synonymous. They refer to distinctive
reaction patterns in the skin , which can be either acute or
chronic and due to a number of causes.
Types of Eczemas :
There are two groups of eczemas: Exogenous and endogenous. While
overlap between the two groups is common, distinction between
them is critical for treatment because avoidance of
incriminating contactants takes precedence over other measures
in the management of exogenous eczema. The box below shows the
classification of the eczemas.
