A friend asked me if I can talk to my wife about him getting a consultation at the hospital where she works. Too bad they don’t have a dermatologist there so he has to consult elsewhere. He thinks he has eczema and he is worried about it. So what is that anyway?

Eczema is a general term for many types of skin inflammation, also known as dermatitis. The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis (some people use these two terms interchangeably). However, there are many different forms of eczema.

Basically he doesn’t have to worry, after his check up, the doctor said he just needs to apply something and what he has isn’t contagious so he can go back to work without worrying that we might get it from him. Thank heavens! hehehe….
