Eczema: atopic and contact eczema

Shutterstock _eczema Girl SmallEczema is a skin disorder characterised by fluid-filled vesicles on the skin. The vesicles burst, which is followed by crustation. Eczema is a prevalent disorder, but may also have non-allergic causes.

Allergic eczema is divided into 'atopic eczema' and 'contact eczema'. A symptom of atopic eczema is an allergen-induced eczema-like rash. This is referred to as 'atopic', which means 'prone to allergic reaction'. Atopic people tend to have hay fever and asthma and (atopic) eczema.

If you suffer from contact eczema, you will by definition have other allergic symptoms. Contact eczema does not discriminate. It arises in places where the skin has been in contact with an allergen. An example is allergy to nickel or chrome, which is found in certain jewellery and watches.
