Discover which eczema type matches your unique skin profile and unlock targeted tips to manage irritation and flare-ups.
  1. The Dry Patch Detective -

    If your skin feels tight and rough, with fine scales forming in constant dry patches, you're likely dealing with Dry-Skin Eczema. This type thrives in low humidity and responds best to rich moisturizers and gentle cleansers - try layering a ceramide-rich cream daily to restore your skin barrier.

  2. The Itch-and-Scratch Specialist -

    Do you experience sudden, intense itching followed by red, inflamed areas? You might have Atopic Dermatitis, the most common eczema form. Keep cool, wear breathable fabrics, and use a fragrance-free emollient after showers to calm flare-ups and break the itch-scratch cycle.

  3. The Stress-Flare Champion -

    If your eczema worsens under pressure or emotional strain, you may be facing Neurodermatitis. This stress-linked variant shows thick, leathery skin patches from repetitive rubbing. Incorporate relaxation techniques and apply a soothing steroid cream as directed to stop the cycle.

  4. The Contact Clue-Finder -

    Are certain soaps, metals, or plants triggering red, blistering patches wherever they touch your skin? You're exploring Contact Dermatitis territory. Identify and avoid your irritants, then soothe with cold compresses and a barrier-repair ointment to prevent future reactions.

  5. The Heat-Hassle Handler -

    Sweat, warmth, or friction set off your rash with tiny, prickly bumps and stinging patches - signs of Dyshidrotic Eczema. Keep your hands and feet cool, wear moisture-wicking socks, and apply calamine lotion to ease blisters and itching.
