What are the different kinds of Exzema?

pictures). These may look different from each other but all share
the common symptoms
of exzema like inflammation and itching. It is important to

treatment. However it is
not always a very easy task and therefore it is important that you consult a
trained medical practitioner if you think you have Exzema. Sometimes people may
have different kinds
of Exzema present at the same time.
The different
types
of Exzema can broadly be classified in two main categories:
-
Exogenous or Contact
Exzema, which is caused by skin contact with an external
substance that may be natural or synthetic. For example extreme hot or cold

-
Endogenous or

environment. People who suffer from this kind
of Exzema will react to triggers that cause Exogenous or Contact

reacts to slightest changes. This kind
of Exzema is more likely to be inherited.
Endogenous or
Constitutional Exzema can be of the following kinds:
