Eczema can also be known as dermatitis which means “inflammation of skin”.There are many forms of eczema such as : Xerotic eczema, atopic eczema, Dyshidrosis, Discoid eczema, Venous eczema and the list goes on. However I will be concentrating on atopic eczema form as it is one of the most common types.
The word atopic describes people with a certain “allergic” tendencies. Having a long term atopic Eczema condition could mean that sufferers also develop other atopic conditions such as asthma of hay fever.
Atopic eczema is inflammation which happens from time to time, this usually effects people from early childhood which is the reason for my investigation. Unfortunately the cause isn’t understood or known and there is no cure however treatment can help ease or reduce the symptoms. It is told that 2 in 3 grow out of this condition by their mid teens with the help of moisturisers and steroid creams 1 in 6 children have some degree of atopic eczema. 2 in 3 teen sufferers affected by eczema flare ups is reduced or completely gone. It is unpredictable to know which of the children will still be affected as adults. And it is rare to find someone above 20 years of age to develop eczema.
Symptoms of atopic eczema include, weeping of the skin, dry and inflamed, affected areas are usually the front side of elbow, behind knees, ankles. These are most common effected areas but any area of skin may be affected, when scratching itchy skin, it causes patches of shin to become thickened, sometimes inflamed areas of skin become infected.

In order to research different psychological effects and select a few to find deeper analysis, i will need to find out a bit more about the sufferer of eczema.
